3.8.3.1. Programming .ekp File and Encrypted .pof Separately

To program the .ekp and encrypted .pof separately using the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, follow these steps:

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer, under the Mode list, select JTAG as the programming mode.
  2. Click Hardware Setup and the Hardware Setup dialog box will appear.
  3. Select USBBlaster as the programming hardware in the Currently selected hardware list and click Done.
  4. Click Add File and the Select Programmer File dialog box will appear.
  5. Type <filename>.ekp in the File name field and click Open.
  6. Select the .ekp file you added and click Program/Configure.
  7. Click Start to program the key.
    Note: The Intel® Quartus® Prime software message window provides information about the success or failure of the key programming operation. Once the .ekp is programmed, .pof can be programmed separately. To retain the security key in the internal flash that had been programmed through the .ekp, continue with the following steps.
  8. Select the .pof to be programmed to the selected device.
  9. Check only the functional block that need to be updated at child level for CFM and UFM. Do not check operation at the parent level when using Programmer GUI.
  10. After all settings are set, click Start to start programming.
