EPCS device programming error:"Can't recognize silicon ID for device "?!

Hi all, Cyclone3 (3C25E144) and EPCS16 (SOIC-16) 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 EPCS16...

Have you set the MSEL-Pins to Active-Serial or ASx4?

I am using Cyclone 4 Gx development kit from altera.

Yes, MSEL - pins are set to active serial mode before programming to EPCS device by using push button switch (S7) which is used to select device for configuration.

In this board, the configuration settings are controlled by EPM2210 CPLD.

To program in current configuration, I bypassed the CPLD from the JTAG chain and directly add for FPGA and EPCS device for JTAG Indirect Configuration.

Thanks
