Cyclone 10 LP sof2flash unrecognized device family

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 I am trying to generate programming files for a Cyclone 10 LP device using the sof2flash tool of the Nios EDS in Quartus Prime 17.1.1.593:  sof2flash --input="abc.sof" --output="abc.flash" --epcs --verbose   But I get the error message: sof2flash: Unrecognized device family in SOF. Why is this Quartus version not recognizing Cyclone 10 LP? Is there a workaround for this?  I appreciate any help on this issue.   Best regards Christopher

I am now using the "Convert Programming Files..." tool from quartus to generate a .jic file from the .sof and the .hex file that can be generated with the mem_init_generate build target of NiosII SBT.  See AN-736 from Altera for details.
