Cyclone V General perpurse IO can't be pull down during configuration

Hi :

We are using a cyclone V device 5CEFA7F31C6. We saw some general purpose IO pins(PIN_E30 and PIN_AJ7) can't be pulldown during configuration(ASx4 mode with a Serial flash device).We thought the setting in quartus GUI or qsf may change the behavior but the setting doesn't take effect.

We want these signals to remain low during configuration but in any setting they just stay high and go to RTL value(0) after config_done. In the attached photo. You can see the yellow one(config_done) and the green one(E30 or AJ7).

    we are using the following settings in the qsf file and applied them one at a time.

    set_instance_assignment -name RESERVE_PIN AS_OUTPUT_DRIVING_GROUND -to p6_6v_reset

    set_global_assignment -name RESERVE_ALL_UNUSED_PINS_WEAK_PULLUP "AS INPUT TRI-STATED"

    set_global_assignment -name RESERVE_ALL_UNUSED_PINS_WEAK_PULLUP "AS OUTPUT DRIVING GROUND"

    quartus version: Version 22.1std.1 Build 917 02/

      Hi,
      discussed settings don't affect pin state during configuration, they are only effective in user mode. To override Hi state during configuration caused by weak pull-up connect an external pull-down resistor.
