    Hi,

    which Quartus version do you us ? In case your are using the Web-Edition the use of the FFT function is limited to 1 hour after programming the device.

    "Warning: Megafunction that supports OpenCore Plus feature will stop functioning in 1 hour after device is programmed

    Info: Evaluation period of megafunction that supports OpenCore Plus feature can be extended indefinitely by using tethered operation"

    That is the reason why you can't generate a pof-file.

    Kind regards

    Did you get a "<project_name>_time_limited.sof" file. If you are using OpenCore evaluation for any IP cores, you will not be able to generate a POF file.

    As you are apparently using a subsription license, that includes the FFT core: Did you select "Use configuration device" in the Device and Pin Options/Configuration" tab?

    You should be also able to convert *.sof to *.pof by the Convert Programming Files tool.
