question about dual-purpose pins used as normal I/O

I'm using 10M08SAE144I7 for the new design. Since the normal IO number is not enough for this design, in order to add more IO, I disable all the dual-purpose pins in the device by unticking all the o...

Hello,

The option "Enable nCOFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE pins" is needed for configuration. Can you enable that option and see if it works?

Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I've already hard-wired the nCONFIG, CONF_DONE pins to control other components as the output pins, and the nSTATUS pin as GPIO connecting with another MCU. They are already used as the user I/O on the PCB so I think that option may conflict with the hardware.

    However, I've made an experiment that I jumped wire the nCONFIG, CONF_DONE to 3.3v through 10k resistor, then the FPGA can run successfully after reboot. I think these two pins should better be left alone and pull-up for the next version.
