ALT_PLLRECONFIG block busy signal problem

I have implemented ALTPLL_RECONFIG megafunction using an454. I have used 6 mifs, 1 mux, 1 reconfiguration block, 1 reconfigurable pll and a simple state machine. 

 

The problem is whenever I run the code, the busy signal toggles. It stays high for 2 clock cycles and low for one clock cycle. Because of this, I was never able to program the pll. 

 

I am attaching the screenshot in order to make things easier. 

 

I have no idea what the problem maybe. I am waiting for assistance. Thanks.

Whats the frequency of your scanclk?

25 MHZ. Does it have a upper or lower limit?

max 100MHz.  

does your read_param, write_param, reconfig, and write_from_rom being asserted? "Busy" will get asserted if anyone of these pins are toggle high.

you are right, after initializing read and write parameters, the "busy" signal went low, producing a suitable output.  

 

This point is not declared explicitly in the application note, I hope ALTERA stresses this detail in the next coming version of the application note.
