Description
Active Serial configuration may fail when using an EPCS128 or quad-serial configuration device (EPCQ) and a programming file which was generated using the Quartus® II software versions 13.0 and 13.0SP1. All EPCQ devices are affected (EPCQ16, EPCQ32, EPCQ64, EPCQ128, EPCQ256, and EPCQ512).
This problem is caused by the file generation not automatically setting the Disable EPCS ID check option.
Resolution
To workaround this problem, check the Disable EPCS ID option when generating a programming file for the configuration device. This option is accessed by clicking the Advanced... button within the Convert Programming File utility.
This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future version of the Quartus II software.
