Detected PMBUS error during configuration

[SivaKona]

Hi,

Part Number: 1SG280HU2F50E2VG (Stratix 10 GX H -Tile  device)

Quartus Prim Pro Version used for SOF generation: 21.1.0 Build 169

Quartus Prim Pro Version used for SOF programming: 21.1.0 Build 169

Current VID settings :

# VID settings
set_global_assignment -name USE_PWRMGT_SCL SDM_IO14
set_global_assignment -name USE_PWRMGT_SDA SDM_IO11
set_global_assignment -name VID_OPERATION_MODE "PMBUS MASTER"
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_BUS_SPEED_MODE "400 KHZ"
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE_TYPE LTM4677
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE0_ADDRESS 4F
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE1_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE2_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE3_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE4_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE5_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE6_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE7_ADDRESS 00
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_PAGE_COMMAND_ENABLE ON
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_VOLTAGE_OUTPUT_FORMAT "AUTO DISCOVERY"
set_global_assignment -name PWRMGT_TRANSLATED_VOLTAGE_VALUE_UNIT VOLTS

Build flow completes without any Critical Warnings.

Existing Warnings does not seem to be related VID settings in QSF

But when I try programming the SOF on FPGA Part, programmer fails with the Error as shown in attached snapshot.

Hi,

Below are the KDB that provided the solution to the error that existed:

This behavior was due to defective Part. The SOF file worked when S10 GX device was replaced with another fresh one.
