Honored ContributorI have limited experience with Quartus as I mostly use FPGAs from another manufacturer, so I may be missing something obvious.
This gives me the impression that disabling the ID check can only be done from the convert programming files dialog: --- Quote Start --- Solution ID: rd10212009_476 Last Modified: Oct 27, 2009 Product Category: Devices Product Area: Configuration (FPGA) Product Sub-area: Active Serial (AS) Problem When using the quartus_cpf command via the command line is the "Disable EPCS ID check" option available? Solution No, when using the quartus_cpf command via the command line the "Disable EPCS ID check" is not available due to the fact that the Advanced Options are only used for debugging purposes. Also when generating a Conversion Setup File (.cof) this option is not considered. --- Quote End --- I don't find any option to disable the ID check in the Device and Pin Options dialog and converting the .sof file to a .rbf file with Convert Programming files results in an uncompressed bitstream even if the box is check in device and pin options. I have ordered M25P16 flash chips and a 3.0 V regulator to avoid this problem, but would prefer to stick with the M25PX16 if possible. Thanks
