cyclone V device 5CSXC6C6U23C8NES is supported in which Quartus software version?

Hi,

I think you are talking about 5CSXFC6C6U23C8 or 5CSXFC6C6U23C8ES which can be found in Quartus

Lite and std edition of tools.

N or ES in part number are just to Indicates specific device options or shipment method.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Hi Anand,

I'm using Quartus 13.0 in linux. While creating project, I selected 5CSXFC6C6U23C8ES device, but the board is not detected by cable command. I gave the vid and pid values required for the UsbBlaster, but its not detected.

Also I've tried in different versions of Quartus both in windows and linux, but the board is not detected.

Kindly let me know, what may be the issue for the board to be detected.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing information​,

Can you just open command prompt/terminal and type quartus_pgm --auto or jtagconfig.

And check if you can see any of below messages.

1. Error (213013): Programming hardware cable not detected May be due to download cable problem, TDO is not connected properly, a noisy TCK signal, or TDI shorted to GND, pull-up and pull-down resistors connected to the JTAG. USB Blaster problem replace USB cable /Blaster kit or installation issue reinstall Quartus which will install the drivers.
2. USB-Blaster II [USB-1] Unable to read device chain - JTAG chain broken

Monitor the signals like nStatus Conf_Done and others.

Check with GUI instead of command prompt or terminal for simplicity.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Hi Anand,

Both the commands quartus_pgm --auto and jtagconfig are not working. "command not found" is displayed in terminal.

I gave the command "dmesg|tail" in terminal, it displays the device is connected and also vid and pid values of the usb.

Please provide your e-mail id, so that I can share with you the snapshots of errors I'm getting in the terminal.

You have mentioned GUI instead of terminal, I'm not aware of this GUI. Please let me know how to work in the GUI.

Thanks

Hi RK,

Okay, I think we need to set environment variables or just from command prompt/terminal we have to go to Quartus installation directory <directory>/quartus/bin and run quartus_pgm --auto for windows or ./jtagconfig for linux

refer below link for more information

For using GUI :

1. To launch Quartus tool, Using terminal go to Quartus installation directory <directory>/quartus/bin and run quartus binary ./quartus for Linux, And double click on quartus.exe for windows
2. And from Quartus go to tools -> programmer to launch programmer.

You can attach the images or doc in forum, if you want to share it privately you can use message option in forum. Click on my Name ->click on message.

Hi Anand,

My PC is not working due to some issue in linux OS, so I couldn't work on the board from past 3 days.

I tried with the GUI in Quartus programmer.

When I select auto detect option, getting the following error : "Unable to scan device chain. Can't find Jtag chain".

Kindly let me know how to resolve this error.

Thanks

Hi,

It may be power issue, Monitor the signals like nCE ,nStatus Conf_Done and others. Let me know the status during power state of board.

Also check the POR requirements.

Check table 10-2.
