The EPM7128AE configuration controller device also must be
reprogrammed.
1.
Move the programming cable from J24 to J5, labeled For U3.

The orientation of J5 is opposite that of J24. Be sure to rotate
the connector on the end of the programming cable 180
degrees before plugging it into J5. When properly
connected to J5, the programming cable lies naturally across
the FPGA Config LEDs and the dual seven-segment
display
.
2.
Launch the Quartus II software, and open the Programmer (Tools
menu).
3.
Click Add File and select the following programming file:
<Nios II kit path>/examples/factory_recovery/
niosII_cyclone_1c20/config_controller.pof
4.
In the Programmer, check the Program/Configure box, and click
Start
to reprogram the EPM7128AE device.
5.
Push the Force Safe button to perform a power-on reset and
reconfigure the Cyclone device from Flash memory. You should see
the Safe LED turned on and activity on LEDs D0 through D7.
Your board is now re-configured to the default factory condition.
