Why does CvP Update fail after accessing the SDM Mailbox IPs in Intel® Stratix® 10 devices?

Description

Due to a known problem in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.1 Update 1 and later, a Configuration via Protocol (CvP) Update on Intel Stratix® 10 devices could  fail if access to either an Intel Stratix 10 Temperature Sensor  / Intel Stratix 10 Voltage Sensor / Chip ID Intel Stratix 10 FPGA IP core / Stratix 10 Serial Flash Mailbox Client Intel FPGA IP core is performed before the subsequent core configuration. 

Resolution

To work around this problem, either hold the SDM IP in reset for at least 1 second after the device enters user mode or remove the instance of the SDM IPs from your design.
