DE2 Board - IrDA TXD Pin Conflict

When you try to compile a project using pin IRDA_TXD, the Quartus fitter reports a pin conflict. This is resolved by choosing Assignments – Device to get the following dialog:

Press the button labelled Device and Pin Options, and then the tab Dual-Purpose Pins to get the following screen.

The conflict pin is nCEO. Select the Value to get a drop-down box and then choose “Use as regular I/O”. The final result is shown below. The project should now compile.
