Schematics - Cyclone IV

Good day Altera users,

I'm trying to move my FPGA system from DEV-kit to a custom PCB. I used DE0 from Terasic with a Cyclone III. I now wanna switch to a Cyclone IV and I've heard the transition should be smooth. I've looked around for a reference/typical application of schematics for a Cyclone IV but without success. Can someone guide me here?

I am also looking for a PIN to PAD(ball) map, i.e. DIFFCLK_0N --> AB10 does anyone know here I can find it? I've looked at http://www.altera.com/support/devices/cyclone-iv/dev-cyiv.jsp and especially in the Handbook but couldn't find it.

A simple reference design with an EPC4 (config.device) and power connected to the cyclone would be just fine. Just want it to be up and running.

Cheers,

mr_embedded

    All available/required informations are in the pin-out files, I think. What are you missing there?

    FvM,

    I found it in that EXCEL-sheet. I opened that first thing I did, unfortunately EXCEL took a while to open and SHEET_1 was blank, resulting in me switching to the other sheets which did not help. Anyhow, thanks a lot FvM, I've been looking forever :)))))

    Regards,
