I am using Quartus Prime 17.0.2

When to generate a JIC file, I am able to add an SOF file with out issue, but I get an error when doing the same for HEX.

It could be due to the issue during hex file generation. Can you please follow the user guide at link below for that?

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems the issue has to do with the reset vectors. 

My issue is that my current configuration is a bit unusual. We have implemented our EPCQ controller outside of Qsys/Platform Designer because the version of Quartus we are using (17.0.2) is incompatible with the EPCQ device we have. To solve this work around we implemented a v19 EPCQ controller in our top level design rather than inside Qsys. This works but presents an issue given the Embedded User Guide. Any thoughts on how to accommodate this?
