4.6.4. Injecting Errors to Predefined Safe Locations

To inject SEU errors into predefined safe locations only and avoid damaging the device, use the Fault Injection Debugger, the Quartus® Prime Tcl Console, the quartus_fid command-line tool, or the mailbox command.

You can use the mailbox command to inject safe SEU error immediately, before, or after the detection cycle. The Fault Injection Debugger tool can only inject errors immediately.
