JAM / STAPL (Standard Test and Programming Language[1]) are Altera-developed standards for JTAG in-circuit programming of programmable logic devices.[2] The Jam Standard Test and Programming Language is defined by JEDEC standard JESD-71.[3]

STAPL defines a standard .jam file format which supports in-system programmability or configuration of programmable devices.[4][5][6] A JTAG device programmer implements a JAM player which reads the file as a set of instructions directing it to programme a PLD.

The standard is supported by multiple PLD and device programmer manufacturers.
