MAXII EPM2210GF256C3N device not available for selection

[Altera_Forum]

 How to see issue:    File -> New -> Quartus II Project  click next until family and device settings screen (page 3 of 5) family -> MAX II  There is no option for device EPM2210GF256C3N  Note: there is an option for EPM2210F256C3N which is the 3.3 v version, where I want the 1.8 v version (with the G)  Does anyone know if I can use the 3.3 V version, or how to fix this issue? I already have boards with the 1.8 V chip.  Thanks, Angela

Hi Angela: That's really interesting. I only see the smaller Z devices with the 1.8V core. 

 I checked Quartus versions 12.0 -> 13.1 and none of the G variations came up in any of these versions.  I also tried to change the core voltage to 1.8V in the device and pin options and that is also locked out.  I haven't worked with this family much. So I don't know the why it would be missing from the standard devices lists. (I'm using the full licensed version of quartus, so it should be there)..   I suggest you open a support case, or contact your FAE if no one else on this site is able to help.   Usually as device support is dropped, it's listed on https://www.altera.com/download/sw/dnl-sw-index.jsp when you select by device. But Max II is still showing as fully supported.  Pete

I have same problem, but with device EPM570GM100I5N. It's realy strange and I've wrote in mySuppor, so I'm waiting for their answer...

Ok. I just got a answer from my FAE on this issue: 

 o target your device, manually enter the part in the Quartus II  Settings File (.qsf) by performing the following steps:   Close the project  Open <project>.qsf in a text editor  Locate the line set_global_assignment -name DEVICE <device code>  Change the setting to the device you are targeting  As an example, for the part EPM2210GF256I5, the syntax would be  set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EPM2210GF256I5  Exclude the N (lead-free) indicator if that is applicable to your part  Save the updated file  To verify your changes, perform the following steps:   Open your project  On the Assignments menu, click Devices  Verify that Target device has the Other: option selected and is set to your device  In this example, EPM2210GF256I5   Why quartus doesn't list the G variation I don't know. But it does work. I compiled a simple design just to verify and under device and pin options for Voltage, it lists the VCCINT as 1.8V instead of the 3.3V for the F variation that I initially started the project with.  Pete

Thanks, it's really works for EPM570GM100I5 too.

And anybody know, does it really work with real devi&#1089;e when I'll programm it?
