[Altera_Forum]

hi. 

i just got a piece of DE2 board,there is a question when i do the exercise follow the <Quatus II Introduction Using Verilog Design>, if i use the JTAG mode to programming and configure ,it's ok,  at the AS mode ,i do like the follw steps:  1.assignments > device > device and pin options > configuration >chose EPCS16 > compile   2.tools > programmer > make sure the hardware setup is  usb_blaster and the mode is active serial programming,add the .pof file ,check program/configure, > start  3. i turn off the power , check the run/prog switch back to run site,then turn on the power,but the board doesn't look like work normal .   4. i have try to use the "conver programming file"the generate the .pof file by the .sof file. then , use this file do it again,it works.  i don't why? all steps are follw the doc.my quartus II is 9.1 web edition .

I had the same problem. My solution was to convert the .sof to .pof from File->Convert Programming files

I had a similar problem at GXII PCIe card, the solution is at some configuration switches that was less addressed in the manual.
