7.2. Intel Agilex Configuration Architecture Overview

Intel Agilex devices employ configuration architecture that is quite similar to the Intel Stratix 10 architecture. The Secure
Device Manager (SDM), a dedicated hard processor, controls and monitors all aspects of device configuration from device
power-on reset. This configuration architecture is different from earlier Intel FPGA device families where state machines
control configuration.
There are important differences between Intel Agilex and Intel Stratix 10 devices and previous device families with respect to
available configuration modes, configuration pin behavior, and connection guidelines. In addition, the bitstream format is
different. Knowing about these differences and how these pins behave can help you understand and debug configuration
issues.

7.3. Understanding Configuration Status Using quartus_pgm command

You can read the device configuration status from the command line directly. In the following command, specify the cable
index and the JTAG chain device index to obtain the configuration status.
quartus_pgm -c <cable index> -m jtag -device=<device order in jtag chain> -status
The following example output shows the device status with cable index set to 1 and the second device selected as the
targeted device in the JTAG chain after a successful configuration.
quartus_pgm -c 1 -m jtag -device=2 -status
