Does jtagconfig work at all? (Probably not, since its likely a driver issue)

Here's what the factory default outputs:

$ jtagconfig -n
1) USB-Blaster 
  020F30DD   EP3C25/EP4CE22
    Node 0C006E01  JTAG UART# 1
    Node 19104600  Nios II# 0
    Node 0C006E00  JTAG UART# 0

Do you see the USB-Blaster under the device manager? What version of the drivers are installed? I can have a look at my Win7 machine tomorrow and see what it says.

The other issue with Win7 is that it does not allow VirtualBox to capture the USB-Blaster to a virtual machine, so you can't just try installing WinXP or Linux, since you then cannot access the USB-Blaster.

If you know how to dual-boot your development machine, you could install Centos 6.2 or Ubuntu 11.10. Both work fine with the USB-Blaster.

Cheers,
