    Critical Issue

    Description

    Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 19.3, you may see a design link error in the EMIF Toolkit with the following message:

    "An error occured while linking the project to the device"

    Once a programming .sof file is linked through the "Link Project to Device" step in the EMIF Toolkit, and then unlinked through the "Unlink Project from Device" step, the same programming .sof file can't be re-linked through the "Link Project to Device" step again. If this is required, you will need to close the EMIF Toolkit and then re-open it.
