    If your design doesn't have any output (i.e. doesn't drive any signal on an output pin) it will be optimized away by Quartus.

    Or signals are stuck to Vcc or GND. (reset always active, no clock....)

    Have you got warning (or error) messages like "do not drive logics" "stuck to VCC or GND" when you compile with Quartus ?
