Intel: When writing a .jic file to EPCQA on a board with Cyclone® V SoC, the peripheral buffer and FPGA heat up only during the write. why?

Category: Programming/Configuration
Tools: Quartus® Prime
Device: Cyclone® V


This is due to incorrect unused pin settings in the Serial Flash Loader (SFL) image included in the .jic file generated by Quartus® Prime.

■ Countermeasures
Download the SFL library included in .jic from the following site and replace the existing library.

■Target device
Cyclone V SE - Member Code A5, Package F896 (31mm)
Cyclone V SX - Member Code C5, Package F896 (31mm)
Cyclone V ST - Member Code D5, Package F896 (31mm)

Why do some GPIO pins drive low during JIC programming in Cyclone® V SoC devices?
