Steps of Programming the
Quad Serial Configuration
Device
This chapter describes how to program the quad serial configuration device with Serial Flash
Loader (SFL) function via the JTAG interface. User can program quad serial configuration devices
with a JTAG indirect configuration (.jic) file. To generate JIC programming files with the Quartus II
software, users need to generate a user-specified SRAM object file (.sof), which is the input file
first. Next, users need to convert the SOF to a JIC file. To convert a SOF to a JIC file in Quartus II
software, follow these steps:
Before you Begin
To use the Quad serial flash as a FPGA configuration device, the FPGA will need to be set in Asx4
mode. To do this, adjust the configuration mode switch (SW6) to let MSEL[4..0] to be set as
“10010”.
Convert. SOF File to .JIC file
