To program a .jam (JAM) file into a single MAX® 10 FPGA device on a multi-device JTAG chain, perform the following steps :
1. Open the Quartus® Prime Programmer Software and click Auto Detect so all the devices on the JTAG chain are visible.
2. Select the specific MAX® 10 device you intend to program on the JTAG chain, then click Change File and select the appropriate .sof (SRAM Object File) or .pof (Programmer Object File) image.
3. Click File -> Save As to save your current setup as a *.cdf (Chain Descriptor File)
4. Convert your .cdf file to a .jam file using either
quartus_pfg -c <input_file>.cdf <output_file>.jam
or
quartus_cpf -c <input_file>.cdf <output_file>.jam
This command adds <bypass> next to the device name for all devices except for the targeted MAX® 10 FPGA device.
5. Program the generated .jam file into your Intel MAX 10 device.
a. For .jam used for JTAG configuration, use the command
quartus_jli -c<cable number> -aconfigure <filename>.jam
b. For .jam used for internal configuration, use the command
quartus_jli -c<cable number> -aprogram <filename>.jam
