Problems to program Cyclone V GT FPGA

Im new using Altera boards I have two questions.

I check the Quartus_II_Introduction for verilog users. On the programming chapter it says that "DE0-CV, DE0-Nano and DE2-115 Boards" should have a RUN/PROG switch.

1.-Does the cyclone V GT FPGA board has such switch?

2.-Also where can I find the pin assignments for this board?

Thank you

    Did you notice the Cyclone V GT DevKit Reference Manual?

    Best way to get the pin assignments is to import a reference design shipped with the board.

    Thank you FvM and Anand Raj Shankar

    I was able to get the pin Assignment by searching a bit more on internet.

    As for the programming the FPGA I still have some problems, here is what I do:

    SW1, SW3, SW4 default configuration

    SW4: Also I tried Factory user = off

    SW5 I tried with default configuration

    SW5 I tried with MSEL1 0 and 1

    To activate Active Serial MSEL 0 and MSEL 1 should be 0 , 0 according to 13. Configuring Cyclone FPGAs (Cyclone Handbook Volume 1 chapter 13)

    *Quartus Prime Lite Edition Software

    Load project

    Assigments->Device->Device and Pin Options

    Configuration scheme: Active serial 1x

    Configuration device Auto

    Compile

    File->Converting Programming File

    Programming file type: JTAG indirect configuration file *.jic

    Configuration device: EPCQ128A/EPCS128

    Flash loader->Add device: Cyclone V / 5CGTFD9E5

    SOF Data->Add file: File.sof

    Generate

    *Quartus Prime Programmer Lite Edition Software

    Autodetect 5CGTFD9E5

    Select 5CGTFD9E5 click change file select file.jic

    Check Program/Configure checkbox

    Start

    Operation failed

    The error I got is

    Error (209025): Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1. A device's silicon ID is different from its JTAG ID. Verify that all cables are securely connected, select a different device, or check the power on the target system. Make sure the device pins are connected and configured correctly.
