Hello, My quarts ver 13.0sp1 is not generating .sof for Cyclone 5 5cSEMA. What can be the reason for that ?? Please suggest

When choosing the device (under 'Assignments' -> 'Device...') that particular device is labelled '(Advanced)'. So, it will not generate a .sof when compiling :cry:

As for the 'trace' I referred to - messages appear in the 'Processing' tab (in Quartus) as it's compiling. I thought (for the 'Advanced' devices) it told you it wasn't going to generate a sof. However, having just tried it with 13.0sp1 web edition and your device, it doesn't.

So, I suggest you update your software. Version 13.1 and newer support that device.

Cheers,

Alex
