If an RPD file contains only configuration data, why does Quartus generate differing RPD files for EPCQ and EPCQA devices? Shouldn't they be identical?

Hi Vikas,

Thanks for your help on this.

I agree that the text on page 4 points out the issue. But if you look at tables 1,2 and 3, they seem to paint a much rosier picture.

I also see some notes below table 3 which do not appear on my copy of AN-822. Is there a way to get notification when an app note is corrected or updated?

Nonetheless, this is now my issue to try and clean up.

Thanks again for your help with this issue.

Now, on to the next issue: EPCQ256

This part went on End of Life in the spring of 2018.

At the time, I was told that Altera would provide a solution by September of 2018.

So far, I have not heard of any such solution.

Do you have any advice?

As far as further information, I typically use Quartus V17.1, but have also tried all of my tests with V16 and V18.

For Kit Used, there is no kit; I have an installed customer base of about 200 units currently. All testing has been performed on our PCB.

Thanks and regards.

Mark
