Programming the Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit

Hello, Can I program this kit's FPGA using a .sof file or do I need to first generate a .flash file? Please include instructions if a .sof file is sufficient. Thanks.

All FPGAs can be programmed with a .sof file via the JTAG interface, either JTAG directly or usually using JTAG to USB conversion (USB Blaster). You just use the standalone Programmer or the Programmer included with a full installation of Quartus.

    Thanks.

    I'm using the Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit (DK-DEV-10AX115S-A) and trying to configure its FPGA (10AX115S2F45I1SG) with a .sof file and a USB Blaster cable. I get this:

    Error (209015): Can't configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x02E660DD for device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0x020A30DD. Make sure the location of the target device on the circuit board matches the device's location in the device chain in the Chain Description File (.cdf).

    The FPGA listed on the device search of Quartus Prime Standard 23.1 gives the 10AX115S2F45I2SGES as being installed on the kit board:

    Which device part number should I be using, 10AX115S2F45I1SG or 10AX115S2F45I2SGES? What is the cause of the error? Thanks.
