Hi @BoonBengT_Altera ,

I'm currently using Quartus® Prime Programmer and Tools 22.1std.1.917.

I do not have the full design suite installed, just that package. For further information, the automation I am trying to setup is for a manufacturing environment. My primary need is to automate configuration of devices from POF files, which is working nicely already, and secondly I would like to be able to report the expected device checksum by analyzing a POF file. (Either using an existing utility, or if I can understand the file format adequately I can write one myself.)

Regards,

Jim
