Programs to open JBC file

Remember to download programs supporting JBC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Quartus with JBC files

If, despite the installed application, the JBC file does not start in the Quartus application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JBC file with the Quartus application.

Step 3. Update Quartus to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Quartus program with the Jam STAPL Byte-Code Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JBC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JBC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JBC file. Sometimes virus-infected JBC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JBC files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JBC file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JBC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the JBC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JBC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JBC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
