Re: Windows sees USB blaster but Quartus doesn't, why?
My problem is specific to my main development PC and only appeared after nearly a year of relatively reliable operation. 1. The target hardware hasn't changed (it's still the same PCB assembly) 2. The problem affects both of my USB blasters 3. There's no problem if I use my laptop 4. There's no problem if I use a colleages PC 5. Restarting the JTAG server doesn't fix it. 6. Restarting Windows does fix it (even without a power cycle) Using a laptop isn't a long term solution, the screen is too small and the compile times are too long.Re: Windows sees USB blaster but Quartus doesn't, why?
Well the target board hasn't changed, and I've not knowingly changed anything on Quartus-Windows, but that's still where my suspicion rests. SignalTap is reasonably reliable on a different Windows 10 PC with the same version and ditto on my Windows 11 laptop, so I have evidence that both my Blasters and my target board are fine. Is there no way of persuading Quartus to reveal a few more error diagnostics?
