Configure Cyclone II

Hi !!!

i want to configure a cyclone II in AS mode with a microcontroller which is connected to a SPI flash and cyclone II too. So my question is : When you put nConfig low, every pin of FPGA are they in high Z ??

Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your answer i think it's the solution, but i have an other question about that if i deassert nCE what's the state of the other pin like nConfig, nStatus, ASDO or DCLK ??

    Not every pin. If you want to access the AS configuration memory by the processor, you need do deassert nCE.

    During the configuration the I/O pins are set up as inputs with weak pull-up to their respective VCCIO.
