(That i is not I, Fred, but someone else on the altera forums) It is due to the fact that Pin w20 has more than one function. It can also be used as a programming pin. Here is how to fix it. go to assignments, device, device&pin Options (not settings in my version FK) , dual purpose pins... change the nCEO to be a regular I/O pin.. Double click on the pin for it to let you select that option. This will fix your problem. Cheers
