How can I generate Configuration via Protocol (CvP) programming files using the quartus_cpf command?

You can create CvP files for configuration by using the following command:

    quartus_cpf -c <input_file> <output_file> --cvp

You will be able to get CvP files (<filename>.periph.* and <filename>.core.rbf) for your CvP configuration.

To learn more about CvP configuration scheme in the Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA, refer to Intel® Arria® 10 CvP Initialization and Partial Reconfiguration over PCI Express User Guide.
