1.10.2.1. Generating a .pmsf File from a .msf and .sof Input File

Perform the following steps in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software to generate the .pmsf file in the Convert Programming Files dialog box.

  1. Open the Convert Programming Files dialog box.
  2. Specify the programming file type as Partial-Masked SRAM Object File (.pmsf).
  3. Specify the output file name.
  4. Select input files to convert (only a single .msf and .sof file are allowed). Click Add.
  5. Click Generate to generate the .pmsf file.
