Generate bin file for Altera FPGA

Question

I need to generate the bin file for an Altera FPGA using Quartus 16.1

I can generate the sof file, RBF or Jic file, but I cant find any place to generate the bin file.

I need it because the custom software that we use to upgrade the FPGA uses this format, and there is no manual or guidance to generate it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You should look at the sof2flash and then flash2bin application within Nios Console.

Using one after the other will get you a bin file.
