Why does FPGA fabric (phase 2) configuration fail on my HPS Boot First Intel® Stratix® 10 SoC design?

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.1,  phase 2 configuration of the FPGA fabric from the HPS  as part of a HPS boot first flow on Intel Stratix® 10 SoC devices might fail when run from u-boot or Linux for large .RBF files.

Patch 0.19 for the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.1 is available to fix this problem. Download and install the patch from the following links, recompile your Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software project and recreate the programming file:

• Patch 0.19 for Quartus Prime Pro version 18.1 for Linux (.run)
• Patch 0.19 for Quartus Prime Pro version 18.1 for Windows (.exe)
• Readme for Patch 0.19 for Quartus Prime Pro version 18.1 (.txt)

This has been fixed in the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software v18.1.1
