Why does Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer fail to program an Intel® MAX® 10 device with JTAG Secure mode enabled in a device chain?

Description

You will observe Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer failure when you have an Intel® MAX® 10 device with JTAG Secure mode enabled in multiple device JTAG chain. 

Resolution

To work around this issue, perform Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer programming separately between the Intel® MAX® 10 device with JTAG Secure mode enabled and the rest of the devices in the JTAG chain.

- When you are programming an Intel® MAX® 10 device with JTAG Secure mode enabled,  you need to bypass the rest of the devices in the JTAG chain

- When you are programming the rest of the devices in the JTAG chain then you need to bypass the Intel® MAX® 10 devices with JTAG Secure mode enabled.

This problem is fixed starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Software version 21.1.
