Why does my Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Tile A0 ES design fail to operate correctly when loaded from flash but works correctly when loaded from sof (JTAG)?

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions 22.3, and earlier, the Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Tile bit stream can be corrupted during the conversion process.

This problem is typically seen by the F-Tile PCIe IP failing to link train correctly but can potentially impact other F-Tile functionality.

To work around this problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions 22.3 and earlier, install the respective patch below, recompile and regenerate your programming files.
