Quartus programmer initcfg does not work when using a .cdf file

When running the programmer from the command line with the command: quartus_pgm --initcfg test.cdf The FPGAs that I am programming do not get configured when the programmer exits like it says...

Yes you are right. So you are able to execute the command successfully but the FPGA did not get configured?


Can you try to generate the CDF file from other quartus version?

Yes, I can execute the command and the programmer returns successfully. The bitstream does get loaded into the flash storage; however the FPGA is not configured automatically after the programmer is finished (as per the expected behaviour of the --initcfg option). To configure the FPGA I need to power cycle the board.

Generating the .cdf file from another version is no help to me as we are design frozen on this version.
