10M02SCE144I7G programming through USB blasters fails
Hello team,
the programming execution fails at 4%. Attached is the Quartus II project, a screenshot of the programming execution and the schematics of the FPGA. The programming file is the *.pof.
Do you see any mistakes?
Best regards,
Jochen

Have you tried direct programming with a .sof instead of the .pof?

Hello team,
it seems that a programming once with a *.sof file and subsequent programming with a *.pof file with the check box "Enable real-time ISP to allow programming when available" avrivated is successfull. Can you confirm that?

Hi JRe2s,
Yes, when programming a MAX 10 FPGA, you typically need to first program the "SOF" file, which essentially acts as a bootloader that allows you to then program the full configuration data onto the device using the on-chip flash memory. Check the Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA Configuration User Guide for more details. Additionally, when you enable this real-time ISP, it is a slow mode. In certain situation, we would suggest to enable it as a workaround to overcome the error.
