can't find the pin assignments for my EP2C70F896C6N FPGA

hello, 

I have EP2C70F896C6N and trying to program it using Quartus II. 

I made new project with block diagram file, i compiled it and programmed it to FPGA using JTAG mode. 

the FPGA successfully programmed but the program didn't work. 

like i have the wrong pin Table for switches and Leds. 

is there a static pin table for my FPGA or can i set the pins for each switch and led. 

thank you!

Hi, 

 

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly - what's a "static pin table"? 

 

What you have to do is to use the "Pin Planner" (in the Quartus main menu in "Assignments") and assign each top-level symbol a pin. To do so, simply synthesize your project (only the synthesizer - the fitter and other steps are not required), then drag-and-drop each signal in the table in the pin-planner to the pin where you want it. Also, you should assign an I/O standard. 

 

I assume you're using a development board? If so, you might even have example projects to start with. Or you look up the function of each FPGA pin in the schematic of your board and do the assignments manually. 

 

You should assign every signal to a pin, otherwise Quartus will assign a random pin for undefined signals. You'll get a critical warning about that. 

 

 

Best regards,

If you are using a dev kit, you can download the kit installation at altera's website(https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/all-development-kits.html). It is a pretty comprehensive kit. You can find the reference manual, user guide, schematic and many more documentation in it.

Check out the schematic if you are using devkit to know each pin for each switch and LED. You need to assign each of them.
