No board files for Cyclone II (EP2C20F484C7N)

I recently got a hold of a Cyclone II (part number given in the subject). I installed Quartus II with all board files (including Cyclone II, III, and IV). When making a new project, I see board files for EP2C20F484C7, but not EP2C20F484C7N, so pin assignment does not work. I tried specifically reinstalling Cyclone II board files using the device installer, but Quartus recognized that I already had those files. How can I get the proper board files?

Hi,
has been discussed quite often in the forum, just search for keyword "lead free".

There's no functional difference indicated by "N" postfix except for lead-free package, it's the same chip and thus "N" isn't shown in the device selection. Just choose EP2C20F484C7.
