Programming QSPI Flash using the Quartus II Programmer
Although the QSPI flash is not programmed by factory default, you can program this
device using quartus_hps.exe that resides in the quartus/bin directory. To use this
tool, open a command window and change directories to your 13.0 or later
installation (e.g. c:\altera\13.0\quartus\bin). To program an entire file to QSPI Flash
starting at address 0 type:
quartus_hps.exe -c <programming cable index> -o P <flash_boot_image.bin>
