    thanks for your reply. Daixiwen.

    I can find several sof and pof files in the factory_recovery folder, but there is no the exactly same file as the "cycloneIII_3c120_dev_factory_recovery.pof".

    If you have, could you send one copy to me ?

    what files do you have? Are you sure you downloaded the right one from Altera?

    The .pof file is 64MBytes... A bit too big to send.

    Did you ever find that factory recovery file? I'm looking for it too and can't find it

    what files do you have in the factory recovery folder? Did you download the kit support files from the link I gave? If you have the 9.0/9.1 versions, the .pof file should directly be there.

    If you have a newer version, then you'll have a script that will reprogram the flash. The procedure is described in the user guide, chapter "Restoring the Flash Device with the Factory Settings"
