    Hi everyone,

    Finally found the solution:

    Use the .qdz file provided from Intel website for Cyclone IV, with the compatible Quartus version (in my case, Prime 22.1std)

    Create project for the device EP4CGX150DF31C7

    In the programmer, use auto-detect button that show EP4CGX150 and EPM2210.

    Right click on EP4CGX150 and "change file". Choose the .sof file created by the project.

    It will remplace the EP4CGX150 by EP4CGX150DF31C7, and allow you to configure/program this device.

    If you start the flashing process, it should work.

    (EPM2210 is unused in my case, left there for Quartus to be happy)

    Thanks your help !
