MyFirstFPGA on Stratix II PCI Express Dev Kit

[Altera_Forum]

Hi I am new to FPGA world and sorry if I am asking silly questions. 

 I am trying to run MyFirstFPGA tutorial on Stratix II PCI express dev kit I followed every step specified on the tutorial and configured PIN's as per given in user manual.   Using Quartus II - 9.1v Clk - 100MHz on Pin - PIN_A20 LED[3..0] - AR33, AP30, AT32, AP31 button - D37   When I changed CLK IO type to LVDS. There is a new pin created with oss_clk(n) and got asigned to pin A21. I donno if that is an issue. No mater what I do it is there.   I donno some how when I download compiled "sof" file all LED's on board are lighting up.   I even tried removing PLL and directly connecting to clk to simple counter but same effect.   I downloaded myFirstFPGA "SOF" file provided with board CD and it works as expected. Any tips or available project source would be great.   Thanks in advance

I can answer one of your questions quickly. For the rest, I am not familiar with that specific board. 

 Each time you use differential signaling such as LVDS, you need two signals: p and n. Quatrus II will automatically generate the extra signal when you select a diff sig standard. You should always use differential signaling when you can. Make sure however that a differential clock generator is actually used to drive those pins. Look at the schematics and search for those pins and see how they are connected.
