    Thanks for using DE4-230 board, FYI, DE_DDR2_UniPHY example is designed for Quartus II 11.1 SP2 purpose, thus there would be some compatibility issue when comes to Quartus II 16.0, solution A is to run Quartus II 11.1 SP2 instead.

    In addition, please help refer to DE4 user manual → Table 2–15 DDR2-SO-DIMM-1 Pin Assignments, Schematic Signal Names, and Functions.

    Or say, to set up new project by using DE4 System Builder? For more details, please find those in DE4 user manual, Chapter 4 DE4 System Builder.

    Regards,
