Why does JIC programming fail when using QSPI flash devices of 128Mb density with Intel Agilex® 7 devices in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 20.3?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 20.3, QSPI flash configuration devices of density 128Mb cannot be successfully programmed with JIC files when used with Intel Agilex® 7 devices.

    This applies to the 3rd party QSPI flash configuration devices shown below.

    1: Micron MT25QU128

    2: Macronix MX25U128

     JIC programming of these devices is successful when using earlier Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions.
