Issue 522006, 522405 : Chapter Software Migration Guidelines, section Programming File Compatibility, version 2018.01.11
The compatibility information in “Table 3: Programming File Compatibility for EPCS and EPCQ to EPCQA Devices” was preliminary and incorrect. Please refer to the following table for the updated Programming File Compatibility for EPCS and EPCQ to EPCQA Devices:
| FPGA Device | Configuration Device | Configuration Device Size | Programming File | Disable EPCS/EPCQ ID check | Compatible with EPCQA (1)(2) |
| Legacy FPGA devices (Other devices than Cyclone® V, Arria® V or Stratix® V devices) | EPCS | 64Mb & below | .pof/.jic/.rpd/.jam/.jbc | Any | Yes |
| .svf | Any | Yes (8) | |||
| 128Mb | .pof/.jic/.rpd | Any | Yes (3) | ||
| .jam/.jbc/.svf | Any | No (4) | |||
| EPCQ | Any | .pof/.jic/.rpd/.jam/.jbc | On (5) | Yes | |
| .svf | Any | No | |||
| Cyclone® V, Arria® V or Stratix® V devices | EPCS | 64Mb & below | .pof/.jic/.rpd/.jam/.jbc | On (6) | Yes |
| .svf | Any | No | |||
| 128Mb | .pof/.jic/.rpd | On (6) | Yes (3) | ||
| .jam/.jbc/.svf | Any | No (4) | |||
| EPCQ (7) | Any | Any | Any | No |
Notes:
Note 1 : This table assumes other compatibility considerations are satisfied
Note 2 : This table assumes the programming files do not contain any ASMI Parallel IP or Serial Flash Loader IP
Note 3 : In .rpd file, the binary data is the same between EPCS128 and EPCQ128A. But due to different sector size, a proper erasing procedure is required when programming each device.
Note 4 : Due to different sector size, the .jam/.jbc file is different between EPCS and EPCQ.
Note 5 : Quartus Prime version 15.1 or later, automatic mode turns on this option automatically
Note 6 : Other than Quartus Prime version 13.0 to 15.0, automatic mode turns on this option automatically
Note 7 : EPCQ programming files are not compatible with EPCQ-A in AS x1 or AS x4 modes
Note 8 : Only supported for svf files generated for EPCS devices, used to program an EPCQ-A, but not the other way round
