Why does configuration fail intermittently when using a JIC file generated with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 23.2 and later on Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices, resulting in Major Error Code 0x0000F004 and Minor Error Code 0x00000001?

Description

You may encounter the following errors during configuration using a JIC file generated with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 23.2 and later, targeting Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices with P-tile and/or E-tile:

Major Error Code: 0x0000F004
Minor Error Code: 0x00000001

This issue affects Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices with P-tile and/or E-tile during configuration.

Resolution

To work around this issue:

  • Power cycle the board or toggle nCONFIG to reconfigure the FPGA.

Patches are also available to fix this problem for the following Quartus® Prime Pro versions:

  • 23.2
  • 23.3
  • 24.3.1
  • 25.1

This problem is fixed starting from Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 25.1.1 and later.

Note:

  • If you can tolerate occasional errors that are unlikely to recur after reconfiguration, no further action is necessary.
  • If you require zero-error tolerance—even for rare occurrences that may be resolved through reconfiguration or toggling nCONFIG—a patch request is recommended.
  • This fix does not require recompilation of the design. You only need to reconvert the .sof file to .jic.
