Hi,

there are no .qsf-files for FPGAs, as the pin assignments inside a .qsf-file defines which signals connects to which pin (e.g. the VHDL signal "reset" goes to pin "W12"), Altera can only tell you which pin is of which kind (e.g. "W12" is an I/O pin).

However, since the DE0 is distributed by Terasic, you can download sample projects from there (you'll need a login, though): http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=165&no=364&partno=4 (http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=165&no=364&partno=4). In case you don't have a login, you can find the same files on the CD that came with the DE0.

What Altera offers is e.g. this: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/others/literature/dp/cyclone/ep1c3t144.txt (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/others/literature/dp/cyclone/ep1c3t144.txt).
