Hi,


From the screenshot, you do not tick on the "verify" features but the Quartus still performed verify. May I know if you have another system to try and see if you are facing the same issue?

    Hey John,

    I have actually tried this on at least 4 other pc's (2 development computers with full Quartus Installed, 2 quality control computers with bare minimum install) and its behaved the same way.

    Is there perhaps a setting in the Quartus 2 application that would change how the programmer interacts with the .pof file?

    Thanks for your time

    Hey John,

    I think I was able to figure it out.... well sort of.

    Under the Device Settings, I had the option 'Verify Protect' enabled.


    After disabling it, I have been able to program successfully every time.

    I have tried gathering more information about this setting, but I haven't found much to enlighten me on why this setting was causing my issues.

    Do you happen to know anything about this?

    Thanks for your time
