Hi I have a DE0 (Cyclone III) and a DE0-Nano (Cyclone IV).
When active serial programming the DE0 with a .pof file I put the DE0 into PROGRAM MODE using the (RUN/PROG) switch.
But I can't find the equivalent switch on the DE0-Nano board?
So my programming fails.
The manual doesn't mention the process to follow.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Ian,
You're going to have to generate a .JIC file (converted from your .sof) to program your DE0-Nano. You can do this by:
1. <Quartus II> File->Convert Programming Files...
2. Under "Programming File Type," choose "JTAG Indirect Configuration File(.jic)".
3. Under "Configuration Device" select "EPCS16."
4. Click on "Flash Loader" in the lower box, and click on "Add Device..." on the right hand side. Click on Cyclone IV E, then EP4CE22. Click OK.
5. Click on "SOF Data", and click on "Add File..." on the right hand side. Choose your .sof file.
6. Click on generate. You should get an "output_file.jic" (you can change this if you want).
7. Now go to Quartus Programmer, and remove whatever file is in there. Then click on "Add File..." and select your .jic file.
8. Check the "Program/Configure" checkbox, and "Start".
9. After programming is finished, unplug your DE0-Nano, and replug it. Your program should start by default.
