3.7. Enabling Data Compression

When you enable compression, the Quartus® Prime software generates configuration files with compressed configuration data.
A compressed configuration file is needed to use the dual configuration mode in the internal configuration scheme. This compressed file reduces the storage requirements in internal flash memory, and decreases the time needed to send the bitstream to the MAX® 10 device family. There are two methods to enable compression for the MAX® 10 device family bitstreams in the Quartus® Prime software:
  • Before design compilation—using the Compiler Settings menu.
  • After design compilation—using the Convert Programming Files option.
