Intel: Configuration circuitry in PFL does not allow configuration. Since the PFL's FPGA configuration retry mode is ON, retries are repeated. Are there any countermeasures?

Please check the following reasons why the configuration is not completed.

1. Has the Flash-ROM you are using been reset correctly?
⇒ After the power supply stabilizes, the PFL must operate after resetting the Flash-ROM correctly.
If the Flash-ROM is not properly reset, the Flash-ROM becomes unstable and
The phenomenon of repeating the configuration has been confirmed.

2. The CONF_DONE signal has an external 10KΩ pull-up when configuring multiple FPGAs.
In such a case, the CONF_DONE signal may be too dull and the PFL may malfunction.
Again there is the possibility of repeating the configuration.
⇒ As a workaround, for the I/O pin of the MAX II device to which the CONF_DONE signal is connected,
Make Schmitt trigger settings.

Set the I/O Standard to "3.3V Schmitt Trigger Input" in the Assignment Editor,
It is reflected by compiling.
