MAX10 10M08 intermittently failing to program with Quartus

I have a MAX 10 eval board, OPN#: EK-10M08E144. I have a project I have compiled using Quartus Prime Lite 20.1.0 Build 711 06/05/2020 SJ Lite Edition. I have made a dual boot image for it but disa...

Hi,


Thank you for contacting Intel community.


Per my understanding based on your statement below:

"Interestingly, it seems like the laptop running Quartus _may_ have something to do with it as I have found a laptop that appears to be able to program and never see any of the problems"


You have tried to program the board using other laptop and it works, hence it might be due to previous laptop problem that not supported the Quartus. Please used the good laptop to run the board.


Regards,

Aiman

    Out of 10 different computers Quartus works on one of them correctly? If that is really true, it seems like you would want to fix it? Does it work on your computer? Get an eval board and try it. I just made a fresh project from scratch in Quartus Lite that is a 31 bit counter with the top bits hooked to the LEDs. It builds but it won't program. So I tried your solution of just trying another computer. That one won't even connect to the programmer. Are you sure you don't have anything you can do to help?

    It will program the sof file but only with reset held which appears to effectively invalidate loading the sof file.

    I suspect it has something to do with generating the pof file or possibly loading it. If you could walk through an example like the one I suggested and take some screen shots of generating the pof file, maybe that would give me enough to debug it.
