New ContributorFlash Loader IP missing on Cyclone IV GX?
Hola
Generating a JIC with EPCGX30CF32 to program a serial flash by Convert Programming files. However Quartus shows no Flash Loader IP after first device programmed. Could you upload a proper flash loader image for EP4CGX30F32?

Hi,
it's not necessarily a defective SFL image. Can be also a JTAG problem or unexpected reconfig happening at the target system.
You didn't report the used Quartus version. I would try to load sfl_enhanced_ep4cgx30cf23.sof and alternatively sfl_ep4cgx30cf23.sof manually and try flash action with disabled sfl programming.

I could download sof via JTAG into FPGA without any issue. Try to convert JIC with flash loader by both Quartus standard version 18.1.1 & 23.1.1 and get the same error.

Hi Frank
No issue to download generic SOF into Cyclone IV GX FPGA.

Hi Adams_Hu,
Any updates? Have you try to use another USB blaster?
Perhaps you may try some advice from this thread: https://community.intel.com/t5/FPGA-SoC-And-CPLD-Boards-And/Flash-Loader-IP-not-loaded-on-device-1/m-p/686493

Hi Fakhrul
I tried the other USB blaster but it is the same error.
I also tried to generate JIC file as the thread and it is the same error.

Hi Adams_Hu,
May I know have you ever tried with the latest ver. 24.1?
