Quartus Programmer detects Agilex 7 AGFA014R24B device as AGFA014R24A

Hi,

In our board we are using two Altera devices:
•    Max10 10M04SAU324I7G
•    Agilex 7F AGFA014R24B1E1V
When JTAG chain "Auto Detect" option is applied in Quartus Programmer,
Max10 device is detected as "10M04SA", but Agilex 7F is detected as 
AGFA014R24A. 
Warning message "Programming file selected contains device AGFA014R24B which is incompatible with target device AGFA014R24A in device chain" appears when programming sof file is applied.

Is it a normal behavior? Should I just ignore it and program the file, or there
is some difference between the devices? I could not find any mention of AGFA014R24A variant on Altera site. Is it just a software bug of Programmer?

Thanks,
Mark

    Hello, 

     

    Could you try below? 

    1- Load .sof file for AGFA014R24B and try to program. Can it successfully programmed? 

    2- Can you see the part number printed on the FPGA? Is it the printed as AGFA014R24B or else? 

    3- Please make sure you use latest Quartus version. 25.1.1 and beyond. 

     

    regards,

    Farabi

      Hello, 

       

      Are you able to try on Quartus 25.1.1? Only use the standalone Quartus Programmer, no need license.

        Hello Farabi,

        I have tried with Quartus 25.3.1 Programmer. Same result:

        This version detects the device as AGFA014R24AR1.   (R1 added at the end vs version 25.1.0)

        My concern is that there were difference in reference voltage for some pins (1.8V / 1.2V) between ES and production devices. I would like to insure that device I am using is not an ES.

        Thanks,

        Mark
