MAX 10 ADC .SOF works, ADC in .POF does not

I am using 15.1 and I generated a ADC from QSYS, complied the ADC with other code including a memory initialization .hex file.

Complied fine. I am using a 10M50DAF256C8G ADC is running at 10mhz from the correct PLL.

BUT the .sof works fine but the adc in the .pof does not work, rest of the logic works fine...

What is going on??

    I have the same experience where the sof works but pof does not. I am using a budget USB blaster from amazon, so that may have something to do with it. Another we

    I haven't used the ADC in MAX 10 yet. I have a BeMicro MAX10 kit and while learning I noticed that when I program my test project into the .sof it worked but when I power down the kit and apply power again it went back to the original program. The problem was that I wasn't programming the .pof file right. There is a lot of info on configuration on this pdf:

    Make sure you guys are programming the .pof and that the hex file has all the info from eclipse...read about "Make target" in the pdf. and check the configuration block 0 in the programmer.

    I hope that helps somehow...good luck.
