quartus prime programmer tool crashes when uploading sof file.

I have an issue with quartus prime programmer tool. When I try to upload .sof file of Startix 10 (Apollo S10 platform), it crashes immediately. Moreover, it also doesn’t recognize the device when I press auto detect.

I am working with terasic Apollo S10 platform and I am not able to program the FPGA.

I have tried the following:

- Tried with 2 different versions: 21.1, 19.1.

- I have rebooted my pc, but no help.

    Hi,

    I was using Quartus prime standard version. Then I tried Quartus Prime Pro latest version and it works fine when programming Stratix 10.

    The issue is resolved.

    Regards,

    Rahul

    You should probably try reinstalling the Programmer and/or the drivers.

    Hi,


    Yes, for Stratix 20, you need to use Quartus Pro to program.
