Hi, 

 

I have an fpga CyIV GX which is connected in active serial mode with an EPCS. I would like to upload a .rbf with an altera tool (quartus programmer or something else) without creating a design with a Nios or a flash controler.  

Is it possible ? 

 

Thanks.

The Quartus Programming File Converter can generate the *.jic file for JTAG indirect programming of EPCS device. You can also integrate the conversion into the compilation workflow by adding a script.

I would like to upload two bitstreams in my EPCS128. 

The size of a .jic is automatically the size of the epcs, compressed or not, isn't it ? 

That's the problem of this format file, that is why .rbf is maybe a better solution.

You can import multiple pages to the EPCS image. Of couse, it's the matter of the target system to understand the meaning of additional pages, e.g. referring to the remote system update scheme. 

 

Compression can be set with each input file (*.sof) properties.

If you have the active serial header on your board, just load the .POF file directly to the EPCS in active serial mode.

Is it possible to put few bitstreams in one .pof with several addresses ? 

With "quartus programming file" ?

Yes it is just check out the "Convert Programming File" utility under the File menu in Quartus. there is a section on this tool in the Quartus Handbook as well if you need some more details.
