Stratix V programming files problem - SOF file ok but POF file not working

I have weird issue where the programming SOF file is working but the POF file is not working. I am currently working on a Stratix V device (5SGXMA3K3F40C4) . All my previous programming files were ...

Hi Lim,


So the read back POF file is using Quartus Programmer with Active Serial Configuration Scheme right? Setting are the same for both read back and programming? Just want to make sure both topology are the same for valid bitstream comparison.


The "did not work" you mentioned when programming JIC using JTAG configuration scheme is not able to program the flash with failure or fail to configure the FPGA during bootup?


Can you share me the SOF file? i try to generate the JIC for you. And the flash is EPCQ256 right?


Thank You.


Regards,

YL

    Hi YuanLi,

    Yes both readback and programming is using "Active Serial"

    The "did not work" means, the converted POF file or JIC file is able to be programmed using the Quartus programmer successfully. However the FPGA is unable to boot.

    Please see attached file for the SOF file. I am using EPCQ256 chip to store the program. FPGA I am using is "Stratix V" 5SGXMA3K3F40C4

    Rgds,
