6.1.4.1. Configuring Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP Devices with the JRunner Software Driver

The JRunner software driver allows you to configure Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP devices through the Intel FPGA download cable in JTAG mode.
The supported programming input file is in .rbf format. The JRunner software driver also requires a Chain Description File (.cdf) generated by the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. The JRunner software driver is specifically for embedded JTAG configuration. You can customize the code to make it run on your embedded platform.
Note: The .rbf used by the JRunner software driver cannot be a compressed .rbf because the JRunner software driver uses JTAG-based configuration. During JTAG-based configuration, the real-time decompression feature is not available.
