Hi: 

I build the sof file without problem. somehow, when I program it to the board, the progress bar stops at 80%. It is cyclone iii 3c25f324 fpga. Is it related to any specific issue? 

Thanks

no, I tried programming with the sof file built under 9.1 months ago and it is good. I updated to 10.0sp1. I noticed the LE 100% occupied. could it be a problem?

There were some problems with the 10.0 programmer, I think I had to use an earlier version with a Cyclone II. They seem to have been fixed with 11.0.

What windows are you using? And what version of Q(32/64bits)? 

Try using command line, go to nios 2 command shell, cd to your directory and do a nios2-configure-sof /your/sof/path
