The same error has been reported in another thread, I think. However, I don't understand where the Open Drain setting comes from, it seems inappropriate for any possible usage of the flash pins. I'm not using the board nor Cyclone III with AP configuration, so I had no occasion to experience the problem. But I know that the starter board is shipped with a fully operational example project, cycloneiii_3c25_start_niosii_standard that also uses the flash. So I first would compare with the pin configuration used in this project to understand what's wrong with your configuration.

I know that message.
But it does not apporate for my design.

why I cannot upload my design.

is there a global assignment to turn on the open-drain in your design?

Anyhow, you can use individual assignment to turn off the open-drain on the active parallel flash pins.

I'm not presently using AP configuration or the Cyclone III Dev. Kit, but as I already mentioned, it may be interesting to examine the Starter Board example designs. They have a configuration setting of active serial although the board doesn't utilize AS at all. It may be a necessary Quartus bug workaround.
