Hi,

i have finished my design, and testing the PC28F256P30TF (BGA Package) in "Active Parallel Configuration" mode too.

I use in my design 1.8V core and 1.8V VCCIO with a Cyclone III (EP3C16F484C7).

There are no problems with the Quartus II Programmer or the Nios II Flash Programmer.

But beware !

The new Flash timing is only supported in Quartus 9.0 and later versions.

If you programm the Flash with Quartus 8.1 it will cause a verify error.

My Altera FAE told me that the Flash timing is controlled by the Altera "Parallel Flash Loader" (Factory default PFL image).

The PFL supports the new Flash timing at Quartus II 9.0 and later.
