Instructions
The Altera Quartus II design software package provides the programmer 
function required to configure or program devices using the ByteBlasterMV 
download cable.
To configure or program one or more devices with the ByteBlasterMV cable and 
the Quartus II Programmer, perform the following steps.
f
For a detailed explanation of the programming process, see the Programming 
module of the Quartus II tutorial. See also the “Overview: Working with Chain 
Description Files” and “Overview: Converting Programming Files” topics in 
Quartus II Help.
1.
Compile a project. The Quartus II Compiler generates a programming file, 
such as a SOF, a POF, a Jam File (.jam), or a Jam Byte Code File (.jbc), 
depending on the target device.
