TL;DR Summary
failed to program the pof file
Hello,
i am programming my fpga with certain logic. With the sof file the logic is working fine and correct. but when i am programming pof file i am getting error. (programming is successful, but doesn't work as per the logic).

(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:

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

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

There could be several reasons why your FPGA is not functioning properly when programmed with a POF file. One common issue could be that the POF file is corrupted or not generated correctly. It's important to double-check the POF file and ensure that it matches the design of your FPGA project.

Could there be a problem with the configuration settings of the FPGA?

Yes, incorrect configuration settings on the FPGA can also lead to malfunctioning when programmed with a POF file. Make sure that the configuration settings, such as clock frequencies, I/O standards, and pin assignments, are properly configured according to your design requirements.

Is the programming process of the FPGA being done correctly?

It's possible that the programming process of the FPGA is not being executed correctly, leading to issues with the functionality of the device. Ensure that the programming tool you are using is compatible with the FPGA model and that the programming steps are followed accurately.

Could there be a hardware issue with the FPGA board?

Hardware issues with the FPGA board, such as damaged components or faulty connections, can also cause the device to not work correctly when programmed with a POF file. Inspect the FPGA board for any physical damage or defects that could be affecting its performance.

Are there any compatibility issues between the POF file and the FPGA device?

Incompatibility between the POF file and the FPGA device can result in malfunctioning when programming the FPGA. Make sure that the POF file is compatible with the specific FPGA model you are using and that it supports the features and functionalities required by your design.
