How do I force the SRAM download for the MAX® II, MAX V and MAX 10 device after real time In-System Programming (ISP), without a power cycle?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

To force the SRAM download after real time ISP with the download.jam file and the Jam Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL) player, type the following line in the command prompt:
jam -aSRAM_DOWNLOAD download.jam
where
jam is the executable file of the Jam STAPL player.

 

To force the SRAM download after real time ISP with the download.jbc file and the Jam STAPL Byte-Code (JBC) player, type the following line in the command prompt:
jbi -aSRAM_DOWNLOAD download.jbc
where
jbi is the executable file of the JBC player.

 

If using the quartus_jli executable, the command would be:

quartus_jli  -cn -aSRAM_DOWNLOAD download.jam

 

or

 

quartus_jli -cn  -aSRAM_DOWNLOAD download.jbc

 

where <n> after -c is the download cable index.

 

Alternatively, you may also use the download.svf file and execute the force SRAM download function in the JTAG Chain debugger tool in the Quartus II software as follows:

 

1. From Processing menu open the JTAG Chain Debugger tool

2. Go to JTAG Chain Debugging tab and click the Open JTAG Chain Log file button

3. Select the download.svf file which contains the force download instruction

 

The SVF file can also be used with a 3rd Party programming tool.
