1.5. quartus_pfg Command Line Tool

The Programing File Generator is also available as a command line tool, allowing use in scripted flows. You can specify conversion settings in the command line or using a PFG setting (PFG) file. This ability is useful for advanced settings, like multiple images or multiple user data files (HEX/RFB), because you can define the settings using the GUI and then export them for use in the command line.

To export PFG settings to a PFG file, click File > Save. The Programming File Generator only saves settings that are consistent.

For help with the command line tool, type: 
quartus_pfg --help

Differences Between GUI and Command Line Tool

The command line tool supports single image conversion only.
