Honored ContributorWhich Cyclone development board is it? Who makes it? You may find some sample projects for it, with a Quartus Settings File (qsf) file you can use - for reference.
However, assuming you have a schematic for the dev board you'll indirectly create your own qsf file though Quartus. Don't write it yourself. Under the 'Assignments' menu use the 'Device' option to specify your particular part (this may have been done if you used the 'New Project Wizard...' to created your project) and use the pin planner to make all the I/O assignments you need for your project. Quartus will then generate the qsf file which, as stated at the top of the file: --- Quote Start --- Altera recommends that you do not modify this file. This file is updated automatically by the Quartus II software and any changes you make may be lost or overwritten. --- Quote End --- Cheers, Alex
