How can I program a CFI Flash device attached to my pre-programmed MAX II device with a .jam or .jbc file, without reprogramming the MAX II device?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

You can program the CFI Flash device without reprogramming a MAX® II device which already has the Parallel Flash Loader (PFL) IP in it, by enabling both the DO_BYPASS_CFM and DO_BYPASS_UFM procedures, when executing the .jam or .jbc file.

For example, if using the quartus_jli executable,the command would be  :

quartus_jli -c1 -aprogram -eDO_BYPASS_CFM -eDO_BYPASS_UFM filename.<jam/jbc>

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

jam -aprogram -dDO_BYPASS_CFM=1 -dDO_BYPASS_UFM=1 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.
