Patch# 0.28fw: 
 Firmware fix to address issues where some Agilex devices are not able to configure F-tile correctly.

- AGF 008 R16A
- AGF 006 R24C
- AGF 008 R24C 

Patch# 0.11fw: 
 1. Fix configuration failures seen when customer uses very specific sequence of Bad Bitstream at specific location followed by a good bitstream and nCONFIG asserted as soon as nSTATUS is de-asserted to indicate error.
Corner case. Applicable only for SDM 1.2 devices.
[Bug/ Feature tracking number: 14017264468, 15012964559]

2. Firmware bug fix to enable correct sequence of steps to do ram repair for FMICA CNT NIOS RAM Blocks. This bug can cause functional failures in crypto block in FM71 FPGAs. 
[Bug/ Feature tracking number: 16020229929]

3. This patch enables user to force all M20K blocks to high speed mode on Agilex devices. To enable this feature, place the following line in quartus.ini and recompile the design.

fdrgn_fm_m20k_force_optimization_option=high_speed

The M20Ks located in the design partition generated with final (post-fit) snapshot will not be changed to high speed mode. You will need to recompile that partition, regenerate the .qdb and recompile the design to force the M20K in the partition(generated with final snapshot) to high speed mode.
[Bug/ Feature tracking number: 15013015766 - M20K Disable Low Power Mode]
