Patch created on May 16, 2023, 11:09 p.m. Patch Case#: 15013119113 Patches included: Patches conflicted: //**************************************************************** Description: Patch# 0.32: Issue Description: PROGRAMMING_SEQUENCE is missing in SOF file. PROGRAMMING_SEQUENCE is generated from the input file programming_sequence.pb.enc. This input file is part of quartus installation. Eg: d:/panati/patch_22.4acs/acds/devices/10nm/fm8reva/programming_sequence.pb.enc, (d: has the quartus installation ). The API used to read this file returns the complete path without drive letter in it. i.e it returns /panati/patch_22.4acs/acds/devices/10nm/fm8reva/programming_sequence.pb.enc If quartus installation and user design are in same drive then it can read the file succesfully. If quartus installation and user design are in different folders,it fails to read the file programming_sequence.pb.enc. Resolution: Using the different API to read the full path of programming_sequence.pb.enc. including windows drive letter. Eg: d:/panati/patch_22.4acs/acds/devices/10nm/fm8reva/programming_sequence.pb.enc, Verification: Tested a simple design keeping user design and quartus in different folders. The generated SOF has the PROGRAMMING_SEQUENCE.
