Why is my FPGA not working correctly when programmed with a POF file?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around issues encountered when programming an FPGA with a POF file, which successfully programs but does not function according to the intended logic, unlike the SOF file. Key points include inquiries about the target board—whether it's a proven developer's kit or a custom design—and the user's experience level with FPGA projects. There is also a question regarding the programming method, specifically if JTAG is being used. A reference to an Intel FPGA forum is provided for further insights on the differences between SOF and POF files, highlighting the need for clarity in responses to troubleshooting questions.

(programming is successful, but doesn't work as per the logic).
What is your target board? Is it a developer's kit board (that is a proven design), or is it your own design that you are bringing up for the first time? Is this your first FPGA project, or have you been successful with such projects in the past?

Are you programming via JTAG? Perhaps this discussion at the Intel FPGA forum can be of help:

Thread 'Claude used to facilitate a cyberattack'

Anthropic announced that an inflection point has been reached where the LLM tools are good enough to help or hinder cybersecurity folks. In the most recent case in September 2025, state hackers used Claude in Agentic mode to break into 30+ high-profile companies, of which 17 or so were actually breached before Anthropic shut it down. They mentioned that Clause hallucinated and told the hackers it was more successful than it was...
