The aim of this thread is to request help from you guys because I have a problem trying to make a .pof file which is driving me crazy.
I am working on a card which has three FPGA (each one running different configuration files), I produced the .sof files and I successfully tested programing the FPGA using a jtag cable. Now I would like to create a .pof file (for keeping the new FPGA personality in the non-volatile flash, in this case an EPC16), here is where my problem starts... Using the "convert programming files" tool I produced a .pof file from the three .sof files (one for each FPGA) but for a reason which I cannot understand the FPGAs are not programed (done line does not go high) when I power cycle the card. Do you have a clue, suggestion or hint which allows me to get rid of this problem and finally produce a working pof for the EPC16? Your help will be more than welcome! some extra data: The three FPGA should be programmed using the 1-bit passive serial mode I am using Quartuss II, Version 11.0 attached you will find some screen captures that shows how I am using the "convert programming file" tool.Link Copied

Hi,
--- Quote Start --- Using the "convert programming files" tool I produced a .pof file from the three .sof files (one for each FPGA) but for a reason which I cannot understand the FPGAs are not programed (done line does not go high) when I power cycle the card. --- Quote End --- For multi-device configuration chain, add the SOFs according to the order of the devices in the chain. Check the status of MSEL pin & other configuration signals. Check jumper settings on a card. Refer the following document for the “Conversion of SRAM Object File to Programmer Object File for Parallel Flash Devices” https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/an/an478.pdf Best Regards Vikas Jathar (This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation)![](/skins/images/7FC17B7B85029576C25F1E43CE255B51/responsive_peak/images/icon_anonymous_message.png)
