Intel: Unable to write pof file to MAX® 10 Configuration Flash Memory (CFM).

MAX

Category: Programming/Configuration
Tools: Quartus® Prime
Device: MAX®10


MAX® 10 cannot write the pof file in the following situations, so take action according to the situation.

・When CFM of MAX 10 is empty
The pof file may not be written at the time of initial purchase or after erasing.
In that case, write the pof file after writing the sof file once.

 
・When any of nCONFIG, nSTATUS, or CONF_DONE is Low at Power-ON
The pof file cannot be written if any of the above pins are low at POR (Power On Reset).
I think that there is no problem because the recommended process is usually Pull-up, but since the above can also be used as a user pin,
Be careful not to go Low at POR.

・When the JTAG pin sharing function of MAX 10 is turned on
Please check the following:
