Yeah, I can understand your frustration.

However, you can't blame the BeMicro-SDK board. Its an Arrow product not an Altera product. Since it has a standard USB-Blaster interface, it is not the problem.

The problem is most likely the Altera software under Windows 7. However, I'm not sure why the web edition would not work. I've used earlier versions without issue.

I do have one idea ... since you're seeing the device under the device manager, its almost certainly an issue related to the jtagserver.

If I type "netstat -a | grep -i listen" and then kill jtagserver.exe then list the ports again, I see that port 1309 disappears. If I try jtagconfig again, the server is restarted.

If you don't see jtagserver.exe in your list of processes, and you don't see port 1309 in the list of listening ports, then you may have a permissions problem. Did you install Quartus as administrator (run as administrator during install)?

Cheers,
