Do you have any warning or error message in the log related to the sof file?

which version of QuartusII do you use? 

if QII says device is advanced.  you can virtually compile the device. but not assign pins by fitter process.  you can make sure that by assignment editor device setting.  good luck

Hi, 

 I had the exact same problem. I used Quartus II 10.0 without servicepack 1. I had to install the servicepack and it works. It seems that the Civ is not fully supplied without it.

Hi again, 

 like I said, get the update. I had the same problem. At first I used the DB4CX15 development board without the servicepack and had no problems. When I wanted to use the EP4CGX150 in 484package for my own board I got no sof file. So this one is not fully supported without the sp1.  https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-se

Hi again, 

 are you sure you have no license problem? If you don´t have the excepted license you won´t get a sof file!

Does the assembler run when you compile the project? What does it say in the processing log?
