Hi AnttiLukats,

The errors you see match a known case where the timing models for this device are not yet final. Hence SOF generation also is not enabled yet..
 

Please review:

 

KDB: Why can’t the Agilex 5/7 programming file be generated?
https://community.altera.com/kb/knowledge-base/why-cant-the-agilex%E2%84%A2-5-or-agilex%E2%84%A2-7-fpga-programming-file-be-generated-in-the-qu/345059
Community thread showing the workaround via quartus.ini and correct OPN selection:
https://community.altera.com/discussions/quartus-prime/quartus-25-1-0-not-producing-sof-file/311247


Next steps:

  1. In Quartus, select the exact Ordering Part Number printed on your device and recompile.
  2. Update to the latest Quartus Prime Pro with the Agilex 5 device pack.
  3. If Warning 18636 still blocks .sof, I will request the temporary INI from software team, then recompile and program.
     

Regards,
Fakhrul
