Hi KBVR,If I not mistaken the issue is caused by Quartus Prime update version.We will update the new KDB for this issue in near future. And this bug is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Intel Quartus Prime software.In the meantime, please refer to the attachment picture for workaround:I hope this will help.Thanks.😉

Thanks for Quick response.

As per max10 Configuration guide In system programming time for 10M50 is 52.9 Sec.

but in my board it is taking too long time i.e 14min. please see the below info it is started at 13:21 ended at 13:35. is it hardware issue or tool issue?

and observed it is taking more time at performing verification process ( 209021)

Hello WolfGang ,

Currently I am using the Qurtus prime lite 18.0. to day I tried with the standard edition 18.1.  No change in the programming timming (14 min). Itried from the command shell and the GUI.

Please find the log files below.

NIOS command shell:
