Altera USB Blaster on Windows 10 code 39 error
I have a Terasic DE0-Nano Cyclone IV with built-in USB Blaster.
I am using:
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 1809
Build: 17763.316
I have tried to USB Blaster driver from Quartus II 9.1, 13.0, 13.1, 18.0, and 18.1.
I have tried disabling driver signing, but, this is probably useless since I never got an error message about an unsigned driver.
The Altera USB Blaster driver installs without issue, but, I get caution sign by the device in device manager and the error below. Needless to say the device is not recognized by any version of Quartus II mentioned above or the Terasic Control Panel.
I have scrounged the forums, but, I am not finding a solution. Does anyone know how to fix the driver or if there is an alternate driver? This is my first FPGA, I would love to work through some tutorials, but, can't get past the driver issue.
Error Text:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
