The following steps describe the basic flow for creating Jam Files, Jam Byte-
Code Files, Serial Vector Format Files, In System Configuration Files, or I/O
Pin State Files:
1. Perform a full compilation of the design, or at least run the Analysis &
Synthesis, Fitter, and Assembler modules of the Compiler. The
Assembler automatically creates SOFs and POFs for the design.
2. Open the Programmer window to create a new CDF.
3. Specify JTAG mode.
4. Add, delete, or change the order of programming files and devices in
the CDF. You can direct the Programmer to detect Altera-supported
devices in a JTAG Chain automatically and add them to the device list
of the CDF. You can also add user-defined devices.
5. If you want to create Jam Files, Jam Byte-Code Files, Serial Vector
Format Files, or In System Configuration Files, choose Create/Update >
Create Jam, SVF, or ISC File (File menu) and specify the name and file
format of the file you want to create.
