Altera_ForumHave a look at the assembler report. If the .sof file isn't generated there should be a message in the report saying why.

Thanks for reply..! but still i got this prob...in assembler report there is no any message related to .sof.
And i have one another que how can i find MAC address & IP address of my cycloneII kit??? - Altera_Forum
I got warning in assembler summary report :
"Warning (292011): Can't generate programming files because you are currently using the Quartus II software in Evaluation Mode". - Altera_Forum
Quartus II web edition can generate the .sof-file. But if you have to use the full version of the Quartus then you need to get the license.
- Altera_Forum
Yes I think the easiest way is to install the web edition of Quartus, if you don't have a license.
As for the IP and MAC address, it is entirely up to the embedded software to decide this. If you are using the examples (simple socket server or web server) it will try to read the serial number from the flash and make a MAC address from it. If it doesn't find it, it will ask you for it. Then for the IP address it uses DHCP. - Altera_Forum
Hmmm....thnx.Sir, actually i m working on kit cycloneIII in a institute.while at my home i have a kit of cycloneII devlopment &education board.

Which version of Quartus do you have? I thought that the cygwin problem with head allocation was solved in the more recent versions.
Which kits do you have exactly? You can find on the web the design files for most of them. - Altera_Forum
good evening sir....!
i m using quartus 9.1.i have cyclone III kit EP3c25324C7. Sir can you help me how to find serial number of any board or kit..?i want this number during run a program of webserver...! - Altera_Forum
It should be written on a label somewhere. But if this the only kit that you connect on the network, you can really give any number you want as a serial, it is just used to generate a MAC address.
