1.9. Altera® FPGA SDM Firmware

Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Version 25.3 includes new SDM firmware features as well as fixes.

When regenerating your configuration bitstream, use the latest version of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software, which includes the latest firmware. You do not need to recompile your .sof to use the firmware from a newer version of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software. You can regenerate your configuration bitstream with the new version of the Programming File Generator.

CRC mismatch when using signature blocks over 4KB in size. Current settings limit signature block size to 4KB, anything over this size fails with a CRC mismatch. Fix increases the supported sizes up to 36KB N/A N/A N/A
SysPLL unable to lock in CvP enabled design using HVIO as REFCLK pin. Issue only occurs when configuring with CvP peripheral image .periph.jic file and HVIO is used as the refclk input. Fix includes update to firmware improving reset/release sequence for SysPLL. N/A N/A N/A
013B Device UX is not able to read temperature. 013B Devices do not have temperature sensors in the RD0 location, fix reads temperature from alternate sensor for this device. N/A N/A N/A
