Critical Issue
Due to a problem in the Quartus® Programming File Generator in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Software version 21.1, and 21.2, block partitions containing raw data files (.hex, .bin, .puf or .wkey) may be incorrectly re-sized in full flash images (.JIC / .RPD files).
This problem may result in run-time boot failures, data corruption, or QSPI corruption when Intel® Stratix® 10 Hard Processor System Remote System Update (RSU) flows are used to update flash content.
Patch 0.14 for the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Software version 21.2 is available to fix this problem.
1. Download and install the patch from the relevant link below
2. Re-Create the Flash image clean, re-entering all partition data and sizing.
3. Re-program your QSPI flash using the new .JIC / .rpd file
This problem is fixed starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3.
