[SOLVED] JLlink, Quartus, LimeMini SDR: SDR not working after reflashing

Hello,

I am trying reprogram the LimeMini SDR v1.2 starting from the factory Quartus project design (github link below)

https://limemicro.com/products/boards/limesdr-mini/
https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-Mini
https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-Mini_GW

Since I don't have an Altera USB Blaster, but just a JLink (EDU), I tried to reprogram the device using it first converting the sof file to svf, and then programming the latter using the JLink JTAG using OpenOCD.

The scripts I use are the following:

OpenOCD JLing config file

--- Code: ---#
# SEGGER J-Link
#
# [url]http://www.segger.com/jlink.html[/url]
#
interface jlink
adapter_khz 6000
transport select jtag
# The serial number can be used to select a specific device in case more than
# one is connected to the host.
#
# Example: Select J-Link with serial number 123456789
#
# jlink serial 123456789

--- End code ---

Script for JTAG programming

--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
quartus_cpf \
--convert \
--frequency=6000kHz \
--voltage=1.8V \
--operation=p \
../LimeSDR-Mini_bitstreams/LimeSDR-Mini_lms7_trx_HW_1.2.sof \
LimeSDR-Mini_lms7_trx_HW_1.2.svf

openocd \
-f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/jlink.cfg \
-c init \
-c 'svf LimeSDR-Mini_lms7_trx_HW_1.2.svf' \
-c exit
--- End code ---

Unfortunately, after reprogramming the device, it doesn't work as before. The onboard FT601 device is correctly detected from Linux, but GNU Radio can't communicate with the SDR...

Nothing strange has been done, I just assembled a 20 pin to 6 pins JTAG adapter (JLink to SDR FPGA JTAG connector), and trying to reprogram the factory bitstream design...

This is the first time I use OpenOCD with JLink..
What could be wrong in my setup ?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestion.

SOLVED: I was converting the .sof file, the correct one is the .pof !

BrianHG:
The .sof is for temporary programs the FPGA static ram. Cut the power, and the program disappears. Used during development.

The .pof places the program into the permanent boot-prom.
