To work around this problem, add the required SmartVID Quartus Settings File(.qsf) assignments into the <example design>/hardware_test_design/alt_ehipc3.qsf file to avoid FPGA configuration failure
set_global_assignment -name USE_PWRMGT_SCL SDM_IO14
set_global_assignment -name USE_PWRMGT_SDA SDM_IO11
set_global_assignment -name VID_OPERATION_MODE "PMBUS MASTER"
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_BUS_SPEED_MODE "400 KHZ"
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE_TYPE OTHER
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE0_ADDRESS 47
