Does Quartus II software allow me to create an ERASE only Serial Vector File (SVF)? - Does Quartus II software allow me to create an ERASE only Serial Vector File (SVF)? Description No, Quartus® II software does not allow SVF generation, it only allows a program or verify operation. To create an SVF for a single device erasure perform the following steps. 1) Create a dummy project in Quartus II software. 2) Choose your target device -> e.g. EPM1270F256C5N. 3) Under Device & Pin Options, Programming Files, turn on the Serial Vector File Format option. 4) Compile your dummy project. 5) Open the *.svf file in a text editor. 6) Delete the section where it starts from !PROGRAM. Everything including this line needs to be deleted until the end of the file where you get to a function called STATE IDLE; - this line needs to be preserved. The resulting SVF will now erase the device.
