Hi Jake,

Thanks for the solution. I also had another issue with 9.1 not able to generate a POF file for the flash. The error(actually an info message) message that I get with 9.1 is "Size of file(s) in CFI_512MB exceeds memory capacity" and then another message saying it failed to generated POF file. I used the COF file that was provided by Altera. But, with the same COF file I can get it to work with 9.0 SP2. I am using Arria II GX dev board and not Startix IV.

I will try to get the patch that you have mentioned and see if the POF file generation issue is resolved as well.
