Hello FvM,

CycloneIV (150DF31) and EPCS128 are used in my project, and I use serial flash loader(SFL) to program the serial configuration device with *.jic file. When I try to program EPCS128 in my board, the error "Can't recognize silicon ID for device " is shown in the Quartus II software. But the JTAG mode works well. I have tried the solutions that posted in this forum, but it still doesn't work.

i have tried the settings (above given) required for Cyclone IV, the two dual-purpose pins driving the flash memory (ASDO and FLASH_nCE) should be configured as regular I/O and Data[0] as tri-stated input.

But still didn't solve the problem. What else i need to check? What does this error indicate?Does it mean that EPCS128 device is not detected? How to resolve this issue?

Thanks
