Hi,
I'm having a hard time generating a compressed .hexout file out of an .sof. I've looked into the shell scripting manual of the quartus_cpf utility, did everything "by the book" - to my understanding - and I still get the full size .hexout file. Could you help me see what I do wrong? This is what I do: quartus_cpf -c source.sof target.hexout --option=optionfile
where optionfile is a text file containing the following line: compression=on
The command gets accepted but the resulting size of the .hexout is unchanged. Performing the conversion in Quartus GUI with "compressed" option results in a .hexout file of about 40% the size of the one I get in command line. What do I do wrong? Thanks!

Got it... the correct option is
bitstream_compression=on
