How do I initiate configuration through the Parallel Flash Loader (PFL) after programming the CFI flash device when skipping the verify process with a .jam or .jbc file?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

When disabling the DO_VERIFY procedure in the CFI flash programming, it will cause the PFL not to automatically start up the configuration after complete programming. Normally you can manually power cycle the board to start the configuration. If you do not want to power cycle the board, you can execute the INIT_CONFIGURATION action after the CFI flash has been programmed successfully.

 

If using the quartus_jli executable, the command would be  :

quartus_jli –c<cable index> –aINIT_CONFIGURATION <filename>.jam/.jbc

 

If using the JAM STAPL player, the command would be:

jam –aINIT_CONFIGURATION <filename>.jam

 

The Jam STAPL Byte-Code (jbc) Player uses the same command as above to run a .jbc file, except for the executable name.

 

The INIT_CONFIGURATION action specifies that the configuration device configures the attached devices immediately after programming.
