Working on encryption with max 10 device. Having problems programming .ekp & .pof separately

Hi,

May I know the following details?

1. Quartus tool Edition(Lite/Std/Pro) & version used
2. Device used(FPGA)

Thanks,

Vicky

Quartus Prime Version 18.1.0 Build 625 09/12/2018 SJ Lite Edition

FPGA DEVICE 10M16SAU169I7G

Additionally, since I didn't want to lock up my PCB with the 10M16 on it, I decided to go back to the Altera 10M08 Eval board and do some testing with that. I'm having a problem using the DEVICE 10M08SAE144C8GES on that board programming the part as described in section 3.8.3.2 ug_m10_config.pdf Integrate the .ekp into .pof Programming. I converted the file using the key in the example. I programmed the key and the file both together and now the device doesn't work and I can't program it any longer. I'm happy to send you any files that might help understand my issues.

aiu_fpga_encrypted.map :

BLOCK START ADDRESS END ADDRESS

ICB 0x00000000 0x000007FF

UFM 0x00000800 0x0001CFFF

CFM0 0x0001D000 0x0004E7FF (0x000462A0)

Max 10 Setting:

EPOF: ON

Verify protect: ON

Watchdog value: Not activated

POR: Instant ON

IO Pullup: OFF

SPI IO Pullup: OFF

Notes:

- Data checksum for this conversion is 0x035D1876

- All the addresses in this file are byte addresses

Hi,

Actually for Quartus lite edition, you need to request the license to enable the encryption option from the SSLC (Self Service Licensing Center). Refer the Note under Table 11. from link below,

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/an/an556.pdf

Refer the below link for Intel SSLC,

https://fpgasupport.intel.com/Licensing/license/index.html

Here, provide details like , need of encryption feature license, host id or NIC, number of licenses whether fixed or floating type needed etc.

please let me know if it has helped to resolve your issue.

We also have a standard and pro license, but our customer does not. I noticed from the configuration guide it said "the key is part of the ICB settings stored in the internal flash" I am using the UFM. How much memory do the ICB settings take in the UFM? I noticed from the .map file it said "ICB 0x00000000 0x000007FF" Does it use that entire area? Is that byte addresses or 32bit addresses?

Thanks,

Sorry, just noticed the addresses in the map file are byte addresses.

Are you sure about this licensing issue max 10 devices? From the an556 it doesn't mention max10 devices. I never got any warnings from the quartus software. I wonder if my issue is that I was trying to use the UFM at 0x000 to 0x403 and it sounds like that is used by the ICB.
