ES vs Production SOF

Hi,

The error is due to a JTAG ID mismatch between the SOF and the actual silicon. Most likely due to a JTAG ID mismatch caused by ES vs Production silicon revision, not a random JTAG readback issue.

The SOF expects ID 0x4364F0DD while the device reports 0x0364F0DD. This difference typically indicates an ES versus production silicon variant mismatch. Quartus performs a strict ID check before programming, and this validation cannot be disabled or bypassed in System Console.

This is not a JTAG read issue. It is a device targeting mismatch between the compiled SOF and the detected hardware.

Recommended action:

  • Recompile the design using the correct device variant that matches the silicon on your board
  • Ensure the Quartus device selection aligns with the actual JTAG ID being detected

Once the device and SOF match, programming should proceed normally.
