Why does the Quartus® Programmer crashed when adding Cyclone® IV .jic file in Linux environment?

Description

Due to a problem in Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 20.1,  Quartus® Programmer crashed when adding Cyclone® IV .jic file in the Linux environment.

Resolution

To workaround this problem, generate the .jic file using Quartus® in Windows instead of Linux. Then, add the .jic file using the Quartus® Programmer in Windows.

 

This is schedule to be fixed in future release of Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software.
