Problems to program Cyclone V GT FPGA

Im new using Altera boards I have two questions. 

I check the Quartus_II_Introduction for verilog users. On the programming chapter it says that "DE0-CV, DE0-Nano and DE2-115 Boards" should have a RUN/PROG switch. 

 

1.-Does the cyclone V GT FPGA board has such switch? 

2.-Also where can I find the pin assignments for this board? 

 

Thank you

Did you notice the Cyclone V GT DevKit Reference Manual? 

 

Best way to get the pin assignments is to import a reference design shipped with the board.

Hi, 

 

1.We dont have such switch but take care SW4.4 and SW5 setting for programming. 

For more information you can refer user guide https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_cvgt_fpga_dev_kit.pdf 

2.For pin related information,use reference guide https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/manual/rm_cvgt_fpga_dev_board.pdf

Thank you FvM and Anand Raj Shankar 

 

I was able to get the pin Assignment by searching a bit more on internet. 

 

As for the programming the FPGA I still have some problems, here is what I do: 

 

SW1, SW3, SW4 default configuration 

SW4: Also I tried Factory user = off 

SW5 I tried with default configuration 

SW5 I tried with MSEL1 0 and 1 

 

To activate Active Serial MSEL 0 and MSEL 1 should be 0 , 0 according to 13. Configuring Cyclone FPGAs (Cyclone Handbook Volume 1 chapter 13) 

 

 

*Quartus Prime Lite Edition Software 

Load project 

Assigments->Device->Device and Pin Options 

Configuration scheme: Active serial 1x 

Configuration device Auto 

Compile 

 

File->Converting Programming File 

Programming file type: JTAG indirect configuration file *.jic 

Configuration device: EPCQ128A/EPCS128 

Flash loader->Add device: Cyclone V / 5CGTFD9E5 

SOF Data->Add file: File.sof 

Generate 

 

*Quartus Prime Programmer Lite Edition Software 

Autodetect 5CGTFD9E5 

Select 5CGTFD9E5 click change file select file.jic 

Check Program/Configure checkbox 

Start 

 

Operation failed 

 

The error I got is  

Error (209025): Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1. A device's silicon ID is different from its JTAG ID. Verify that all cables are securely connected, select a different device, or check the power on the target system. Make sure the device pins are connected and configured correctly.
