4.6.3.1. Creating Configuration Files from Command Line

The following example creates the QSPI configuration files for HPS boot first mode: 
quartus_pfg -c design.sof design.jic design.rpd design.map \
-o hps_path=fsbl.hex \
-o device=MT25QU128 \
-o flash_loader=A5ED065BB32AR0 \
-o mode=ASX4 \
-o hps=on \
-o bitswap=on
The input and output files for this command are:
  • Input Files:
    • design.sof
    • fsbl.hex
  • Output Files:
    • design.jic
    • design.core.rbf
    • design.rpd (optional)
    • design.map (optional)
The command parameters are listed below:
Table 12.  Command Parameters
Parameter Description
hps_path Location of HPS FSBL file in hex format
device Target QSPI device. Use a device listed in Supported QSPI Devices or use the graphical interface to determine available options.
flash_loader

The helper image to be used for writing JIC to QSPI Flash. It is typically an alphanumeric prefix of your FPGA part number.

You may use the graphical interface mode to determine available options
mode AS x4 for QSPI
bitswap Set to "on" to create RPD with plain binary format, usable by 3rd party tools.
hps Set to "on" to enable HPS boot first mode, omit for FPGA configuration first mode
Note: When using HPS boot first and your JIC file size is small, you can target a QSPI device that is smaller than what you have on board. S that when the JIC file is being programmed, a warning is displayed, but the space erasing and data programming time are shortened.
