Why does configuration intermittently fail when using a JIC file generated with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 24.2 and later on Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices, resulting in Major Error Code 0x0000F004 and Minor Error Code 0x0000D006?

Description

You may encounter the following errors during configuration using a JIC file generated with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 24.2 and later, targeting Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices with F-tile and/or R-tile:

• Major Error code: 0x0000F004; 
• Minor Error Code: 0x0000D006;

This issue affects configuration behavior on Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices with F-tile and/or R-tile.

Resolution

To  work around this issue:

• Power cycle the FPGA.
• Note: Triggering nCONFIG will not resolve the issue.

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

• 24.2: Quartus Prime Pro Edition Design Software v24.2 patch 0.59fw
• 25.1: Quartus Prime Pro Edition Design Software v25.1 patch 0.25fw

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