Real-Time ISP with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Software

The Intel® Quartus® Prime software generates these programming file formats that support the real-time ISP and ISP clamp features:

  • Programmer Object File (.pof)
  • JEDEC JESD71 STAPL Format File (.jam)
  • JAM Byte Code File (.jbc)

You can use these programming files in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer. You can also use the .jam and .jbc files in other programming tools.

You must enable the real-time ISP feature before programming a device with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer. To enable this feature, in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer window, turn on Enable real-time ISP to allow background programming.

The device will go into real-time ISP mode when the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer starts the programming operation with .pof, .jam, or .jbc files.
