    You don't them, unless you don't have other connections of your design to the AS memory. A typical instantiation looks like this:

    sfl_inst : sfl PORT MAP (
        noe_in	 => '0'
        );

    It's all in the device manuals, e.g. figure 10–30. programming serial configuration devices in-system using the jtag interface for Cyclone III.

    I have ASMI block in my design.In this case,how do I connect other pins?

    Isee following errors when I disable Share ASMI interface option.

    Error: Pins ALTERA_DCLK both have the SPI-related DCLK Pin assignment, but only one pin can have this assignment

    Error: Pins ALTERA_SCE both have the SPI-related SCE Pin assignment, but only one pin can have this assignment

    Error: Pins ALTERA_SDO both have the SPI-related SDO Pin assignment, but only one pin can have this assignment

    Error: Pins ALTERA_DATA0 and ALTERA_DATA0 both have the SPI-related Data[0] Pin assignment, but only one pin can have this assignment
