Thanks for the clarification. From the explanation, you would like to get the POF file from an encrypted device.

For your information, once the device is encrypted, the device cannot be detected / programmed with Quartus Programmer. To enabled JTAG access and read back the POF file, you need to have an IP included in the device for lock / unlock JTAG. If the IP is not instantiated in the design, I afraid you cant unlock the JTAG and read back the POF file.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your answer. Is this IP identification done on the IC? or Is the Reader included in the adapter?

    Can I get more information on this? Where should the IP be?

    Can we use Ethernet Blaster as IP reader for this?
