16 years ago --- Quote Start --- could it be that this board is reconfigured by a watchdoch or a fpga pin ? maybe you use a pin a bit different than the working sof. --- Quote End --- Yes... Finally I found the solution for this problem: quartus menu assignments > device > device and pin options... > unused pins > Reserve all unused pins: as input tri-stated (Before it was set to as output driving ground.) That is mentioned in the my first fpga tutorial: --- Quote Start --- For Cyclone III devices, unused I/O pins default to tri-stated inputs. You can change this setting using the unused pins tab in the device and pin options dialog box. Refer to Quartus II Help for more information about this option and how to use it. --- Quote End --- This morning I already read that, but I thought that it was not important and I wanted to get on fast. Now I spent the whole day finding this simple error/bug. So we can see, that one should always work unhurriedly. So, thank you, MSchmitt! :)
