Convert jic file to jam file with command line

[Altera_Forum]

I know that I can converta Jic file from the UI but I want to integrate this into our build server by using command line. 

To convert the Jic to Jam I go to the programmer, add the jic file, Go to menu Create JAM, JBC etc and select jam type.  I'm already using the quatus_cpf to convert from SOF to JIC...  But didn't found the binary to convert jic to jam that the programmer windows offers??  Anyone know how to?  Best Regards,  -KA

Doesn't quartus_cpf perform all available programming file conversion when called with a respective setting file?

I thought that the quartus_cpf was related only to Convert Programming File window that only offers Output programming file of types: .hexout, .pof, .rbf, .ttf, .pof, .rpd, .jic, .pmsf, .rbf 

EX: quartus_cpf File.jic -c ConfigFileSofToJic.cof  hmm I was always typing the command without the --help that was my mistake :( my bad...  kap@kap:~/altera/12.1/quartus/bin$ ./quartus_cpf --help Quartus II 32-bit Convert_programming_file Version 12.1 Build 177 11/07/2012 SJ Web Edition Copyright (C) 1991-2012 Altera Corporation  Usage: ------  quartus_cpf [-h | --help[=<option|topic>] | -v] quartus_cpf -c [options] <input_file> <output_file> --- to convert file quartus_cpf -w <option_filename> --- to create option file for configuration device quartus_cpf -p <input_msf_file> <input_sof_file> <output_pmsf_file> -- to generate the pmsf file for partial reconfiguration quartus_cpf -e -k <keyfile>:<key_id>[:<key_id>] <input_sof_file> <output_ekp_file> --- to generate an encryption key programming file  Description: ------------   Options: --------   -f <argument file>  -a <hexadecimal number> | --start_address=<hexadecimal number>  -c | --convert  -d <device name> | --device=<device name>  -g <voltage> | --voltage=<voltage>  -i | --info  -k <filename and key id> | --key=<filename and key id>  -m <PS|AP|FPP|PPA|PPS> | --configuration_mode=<PS|AP|FPP|PPA|PPS>  -n <pb|v|p> | --operation=<pb|v|p>  -o <filename> | --option=<filename>  -p <msf_filename> | --genpmsf=<msf_filename>  -q <frequency with units> | --frequency=<frequency with units>  -s <device name> | --sfl_device=<device name>  -u <up|down> | --count_dir=<up|down>  -w | --write  --64bit  --cvp  --hps=<value>  --lower_priority  --verify_invariance=<invariant_msf and static_sof and pr_sof>  Help Topics: ------------   arguments  design_security  hexout  isc  jam  jbc  jic  makefiles  pof  rbf  return_codes  rpd  svf  ttf  For more information on specific options, use --help=<option|topic>.  ./quartus_cpf --help=jam  Topic: jam  To generate a JEDEC STAPL Format File (.jam), specify the  input file name and output file name. Make sure the file  extension of the output file is .jam. The input file must be either an SRAM Object File (.sof), a Programmer Object File  (.pof), a Chain Description File (.cdf), a JTAG Indirect  Configuration Device Programming File (.jic), or an Encryption Key Programming File (.ekp). Use a .cdf to  generate the .jam for a multi-device chain.   --------- Examples: ---------  quartus_cpf -c <input_pof_file> <output_jam_file>  quartus_cpf -c <input_sof_file> <output_jam_file>  quartus_cpf -c <input_cdf_file> <output_jam_file>  quartus_cpf -c <input_jic_file> <output_jam_file>  quartus_cpf -c <input_ekp_file> <output_jam_file>   ./quartus_cpf -c /home/kap/File.jic /home/kap/file.jam Info: ******************************************************************* Info: Running Quartus II 32-bit Convert_programming_file  Info: Version 12.1 Build 177 11/07/2012 SJ Web Edition  Info: Copyright (C) 1991-2012 Altera Corporation.
