No. I have burnt our code a few times and checked out output. But we did not notice if the FPGA was getting heated up or not. Only now I noticed it.

I used Quartus II to burn my code. How will it rewrite the flash with a bad pof? Sorry, I do not understand that. Incorrectly assigned pins- Might be possible because am new to using FPGA and I might have made some mistake with that.

How do I check if the flash is rewritten with a bad pof and how to revert it to default ?
