quartus_jli.exe error

[IoanFlorucza]

Hi,
In our Automated Test System we are using the quartus_jli.exe cli application and the Altera Blaster download cable to program the the FPGA and flash and DSP of the board:
We are using a *.jam file to program the board.
quartus_jli.exe -aprogram -c1 Beta2_00wEcodST.jam
But we have the the following error of the console:
Device #1 is EPCS128
Expect device #1 to have 0 ASC devices of Unrecognized device
Exit code = 6... Unrecognized device
Error: Quartus Prime Jam Tools was unsuccessful. 0 errors, 0 warnings
Error: Peak virtual memory: 4302 megabytes
Error: Processing ended: Tue Jun 08 16:16:45 2021
Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:01
Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:00

I mention that if I use the Quartus Prime Programmer GUI application, and using the same setup / configuration I abled to program the board successfully:
Info (210117): Created JAM or JBC file for the specified chain:
Device 1 (EP3C40; C:/1/output_file.jic)

But when from the GUi application the JAM file is created, and then using the quartus_jli.exe CLI application i have these errors with the same JAM file.

So which with the CLI app i get this error and with the GUI app no errors:

Device #1 is EPCS128
Expect device #1 to have 0 ASC devices of Unrecognized device
Exit code = 6... Unrecognized device

Please advice.

Hi,

Before you program the flash, you need to configure the FPGA.

In order to program the FPGA, you need to performed "quartus_jli.exe -aconfigure -c1 Beta2_00wEcodST.jam" then only you performed "quartus_jli.exe -aprogram -c1 Beta2_00wEcodST.jam"

You may refer to the AN425 (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/sam1403762199737.html). Below is the Note that I copy from the document

Note: To program serial configuration devices with the Jam STAPL Player, you must first configure the FPGA with the Serial FlashLoader image. The following commands are required:

jam -aconfigure <filename>.jam

jam -aprogram <filename>.jam
