Dear kparate,
Your success encouraged me. Then I found the problem I had was that I didn't install the .par file. Now the problem is fixed after I intalled the "BeMicro_MAX10_Baseline.par".
It's strange that after I clicked add the installation directory to the design template search paths (
http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/on_platform_path) and select the directory where I stored the downloaded .par files, the "Available design template" will show them in the list, as if they're ready for use! this led to my previous mistake. This maybe a s/w bug which may confuse the user.
Thanks for your kind help.
