NiosII on StratixII

My previous post didn't seem to post, so I'm doing a quick post so you get the data.

Configuration pins are reserved, and have issues, but you can use them as IO in normal mode. You need to tell Quartus this by selecting the following:

Assignments->Device->Device and Pin Options->Dual-Purpose Pins:

Then select Data[0] and set the value to "Use as regular I/O".

This should allow your fitting to complete, but you need to make sure you don't have bus contention with your configuration device, once you are in running mode.
