Thanks

In fact, it's written in the Nios Dev Board Manual that one way to start the configuration sequence is to "assert (driving 0 volts on) the MAX's reconfigreq_n input pin (from a stratix design).

So I think holding this pin to Vcc might be a way to avoid it coming low after my config finished. Certainely not the best, but the way Jesse told me, which was setting unused pins to tristate wasn't efficient. (I don't understand why, because it sould have been!)

And if you have an idea for programing my config and get it reloaded after power-on (I thought programing .pof file), I would be really happy!

Have a nice day!
