nRESET pin in Cyclone III EP3C80F484C6N

Does the nRESET Pin in the Cyclone III device have to be programmed to act as a regular IO pin or does this happen automatically. I am using active Serial programming - therefore I do not need nRESET...

Hi,


As the pin connection guidelines,


'When not programming the device in AP Note 13 mode, nRESET is not used and is available as a user I/O pin. If the pin is not used as an I/O then it is recommended to tie this pin to VCCIO, GND or leave the pin unconnected.'


You can just leave the pin unconnected if it is not used.


Regards,
