1.1. Generating Primary Device Programming Files

By default, the Compiler's Assembler module generates the primary device programming files at the end of full compilation. Alternatively, you can start the Assembler independently any time after design place and route to generate primary device programming files, such as SRAM Object Files (.sof) for configuration of Intel® FPGAs.

Follow these steps to generate primary device programming files:

  1. To specify programming options that enable features in the primary device programming file, such as Configuration, Power Management & VID, and device Security, click Assignments > Device > Device & Pin Options. Device & Pin Options Dialog Box describes all options.

  2. To generate primary device programming files, click Processing > Start > Start Assembler, or double-click Assembler on the Compilation Dashboard. The Assembler generates the programming files according to the options you specify.
  3. After running the Assembler, view detailed information about programming file generation, including the programming file Summary and Encrypted IP Cores Summary in the Assembler report folder in the Compilation Report.
