cyclon does not load

[Altera_Forum]

HI, 

I have an architecture with: - cyclon iv ep4ce6e22c8n with a programming chip epc64n it is a new release of an old schematic working fine, just the PCB was changed. I am able to load with byteblaster the programming chip but the fpga does not start.  is the some one ableto help me?  than you in advance, please find attached the photos of signal and schematic

Why are you using 1K pullups to VCC (+3.3V?) on CONF_DONE, nCONFIG, and nSTATUS signals? Altera recommendation is 10K. 

 1K pulldown on nCE should be OK.  "it is a new release of an old schematic working fine, just the PCB was changed." ... it could also then be poor layout practices on the associated signals (DCLK, etc).

HI, 

I changed the pull-up and down with 10Kohm resistor. nothing is changed.  please let me suggest more mauriio stefani

You show both a 4.7K pullup to VCC and a pulldown to GND on each line. Obviously only one resistor of the pair should be populated per line. So what is the resistor stuffing selection on your MSEL[2:0] lines? For AS at 3.3V MSEL[2:0] should be either hi/lo/hi or lo/hi/lo depending on fast or standard POR.

HI, 

thank you for reply, the MSEL lines are wired to value of 2, means R42 mounted with value of "0" ohm, R39 mounted with value of "0" ohm, R30 mounted @0hm, R41, R29 and R40 are absent-.  thank you, please help with any other suggestions thank you maurizio stefani

I would then check that the power supply power up meets the FPGA specs (ie, power supply sequencing, ramp rates are as required). I would also check for any unintended PCB solder shorts on the FPGA device. Do you have another board, and if so does it behave identically?  Your signal waveforms as shown in your first post show a substantial amount of noise. It could be real, or it could be due to how your probes are attached. It would be interesting to see the DCLK and DATA waveforms at a more expanded scale (ie, higher horizontal resolution).
