Why does the Passive Serial (PS) configuration fails in Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP, when using a Programmer Object File (.pof) generated with the Programming File Generator?

Description

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime 19.4 Pro Edition and earlier, a Programmer Object File (.pof)  generated with the Programming File Generator has wrong data format in Intel Cyclone® 10 LP.  So the Passive Serial (PS) configuration with the .pof fails.

Resolution

Use the Convert Programming Files instead of the Programming File Generator when the Intel® Quartus® Prime 19.4 Pro Edition or earlier is used.

This problem has been fixed in the Intel® Quartus® Prime 20.1 Pro Edition.
