Conclusion
Using Jam STAPL provides a simple way to benefit from ISP. This application note
provides you with a guideline for the Jam STAPL Player and the quartus_jli
command-line executable. Jam meets all the necessary embedded system
requirements, such as small file sizes, ease of use, and platform independence. In-field
upgrades are simplified by confining updates to the Jam STAPL Byte-Code file.
