Why is the Intel® MAX® 10 device 10M02SCU324 bitstream larger than regular 10M02 devices?

Description

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, the size of the Raw Programming File (.rpd) generated for the Configuration Flash Memory (CFM) of Intel MAX® 10 device variant 10M02SCU324 is larger than the file size of regular 10M02 devices. Users will not be able to update the CFM through the On-Chip Flash Intel FPGA IP using the generated RPD programming file, as the address range that can be accessed by the IP is smaller than the programming file size.

Resolution

This problem is fixed starting with Intel Quartus Prime Edition software version 20.1
