- The USB cable is connected to the kit
- Power to the board is on, and no other applications that use the JTAG chain are running.
- Start the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer.
- Click Add File and select the path to the desired .sof.
- Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
- Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. Configuration is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%.
The Intel® Quartus® Prime Convert Programming File (CPF) GUI can be used to generate a .sof file that can use for internal configuration. You can directly program the Intel® MAX® 10 device’s flash which includes Configuration Flash Memory (CFM) and User Flash Memory (UFM) by using a download cable with the Intel® Quartus® Prime software programmer.
