Step 7: Program the FPGA device
Programming the FPGA can be done using the Quartus Prime Programmer tool or by running the following command:
quartus_pgm.exe -m JTAG -o "p;output_files/<Quartus_Prime_Project_Name>. sof"
For devices where the FPGA configuration is second in the programming chain, use:
quartus_pgm.exe -m JTAG -o "p;output_files/<Quartus_Prime_Project_Name>. sof@2"
Note: After successful execution, the FPGA will be configured with the hardware architecture. The system’s processors and JTAG UARTs can be verified by running:
jtagconfig.exe -n
