Device <name> is illegal. Choose a legal device.


CAUSE 1: You chose the specified target device for the current design. However, you did not install support for the device or the device you specified in the CSF is illegal. The Available Devices list in the Device page of the Settings dialog box indicates whether you installed support for the selected device.
ACTION: Specify an installed target device for the design. You can use the Available Devices list to verify that you installed support for the device. If you want to target a device for which you have not installed support, you can reinstall the Quartus II software to add additional device support. You should also make sure that your license file is up to date and supports the device you want to install. Contact Altera Applications or go to the Altera web site for more information.
CAUSE 2: You manually edited the Compiler Settings File (.csf) for the current design, and indicated the specified target device for the design. However, you did not install support for the device or the device is illegal. The Available Devices list in the Device page of the Settings dialog box indicates whether you installed support for the selected device.

To avoid receiving this message in the future, Altera recommends using the Quartus II software dialog boxes and wizards to modify settings, rather than editing the CSF manually.
