    The "99.64% utilization..." statement was based on the 2019 design.

    The person who contacted Intel at that time was named Nathanael Huffman.

    I have also attached the 2019 design for your reference.

    Based on this information, my takeaway point is that the .INI file, provided in my previous reply, is derived from the 2019 design and should be safe to use in your current project. It has previously been verified by the engineering team in 2019.

    Best Regards,

It is a Quartus setting provided by the engineering team to workaround this specific internal error. This setting is not documented as users are not expected to make any configuration changes related to it.

    Thanks for your answers.

    However, without knowing the root cause of the problem I am hesitant to trust the .sof file. Have you attempted to compile the shared .tgz file to dig a little bit further

    Best,
