There is a known issue with the Linux driver for the "Arrow USB Programmer" when programming .jic files.
Ref the section about Linux=>Known Issues on this page: Arrow USB Programmer - Public Docs - Trenz Electronic Wiki
Known issues
- During the enumeration process, the FTDI USB controller performs a reset. Depending on the hardware used, this might remove the power from the FPGA and therefore might erase the contents of the FPGA.
- udev rules has default priority 50 for usb device. In case of trouble increase priority
- check if usb devices has RW rights: ls -la /dev/bus/usb/001/*
- non-volatile (.jic) configuration does not work with Linux OS and Agilex FPGA (The problem is still being investigated)
- Workaround: Use volatile (.sof) configuration or Win OS
As it states:
The Workaround is to program the .jic from a Windows machine.
