Again thanks for responding.

i started the project by selecting cyclone V 5CEBA4U15C7, but usb blaster is detecting '5CEBA4' , how to flash the generated sof file for 5CEBA4U15C7, with usb blaster only detecting 5CEBA4. Does it means a hardware problem ?.

The device iam working on is a verified board, it's our own hardware, fpga used is '5CEBA4U15C7', where jtag connections are availabe and can be accessed.

Regards.

Hi,
with which error does configuration fail? Presumed you are not trying to configure the FPGA with a .sof for a different device, it's most likely a problem of JTAG harware on your board and signal quality. You say that "JTAG connections are available and can be accessed". That's obvious in so far as Quartus programmer identifies the Cyclone V device. But how do you prove that the connection is reliable?

    Hi Thanks for the reply,

    in programmer, i am choosing 'add file' option and selecting the generated sof file, but it is failing every time.

    Error (209014): CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in device 1. Make sure all communication cables are securely connected, select a different device, check the power on the target system, or make sure all nCE pins are connected to GND. The Intel FPGA Knowledge Database contains many articles with specific details on how to resolve this error. Visit the Knowledge Database at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/search.html and search for this specific error message number.

      fyi,

      nCE pins on the hardware are connected to ground.
