Programming 10M02SCU169C8G fails with Programmer 21.1.1.850 but works with ealier versions

Hi @ll, I've recently tried to flash a .POF file created for MAX10 (10M02SCU169C8G) using the Programmer V21.1.1.850 which fails. Using the Programmer Software V20.1.1.720 (and earlier V18.x.x)...

I discovered that in the latest versions of Quartus Prime Programmer this "trick" curiously works when the programmer refuses to work:

  • Load the Quartus Prima Programmer
  • Do "Auto Detect"
  • Load the file you want to program with the "Change File" button
  • Start programming

In one of my board I have 2 MAX PLD, but different family: one Max5 followed in the same daisy chain by a Max10, If I try to programm the two PLDs in the same operation this doesn't work with the last Quartus Prime Programmer.

Instead doing this operation in two different steps as indicated above and living the other PLD inactive, it works.

But I don't know why...

Regards
