2.4.1. Data Compression

You can choose to compress the core image by turning on the Generate compressed bitstream option in the Configuration page of the Device and Pin Options dialog box in the Quartus Prime software. The periphery image cannot be compressed. Compressing the core image reduces the storage requirement.

If you first configure the FPGA using a compressed core image, you must use a compressed image when updating the subsequent core image of the FPGA.
