Quartus

Device family <name> is illegal. Specify a legal device family


CAUSE: You edited the Compiler Settings File (.csf) outside of the Quartus II software to indicate the specified device family for the current design, but the family is illegal. The Family list in the Device page of the Settings dialog box indicates if you installed support for the selected family.
ACTION:

Specify an installed device family for the design. You can use the Family list to view the available device families. If you want to target a device family 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 family you want to install. Contact Altera Applications or go to the Altera web site for more information.

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.
