1 month agoHi Fred_Barkins,
Thanks for the details. Since other designs program successfully, the board and USB Blaster are likely OK. This error usually happens when Quartus loses access to the JTAG chain during programming, or when the saved chain setup (.cdf) does not match what is actually detected.
Please try these steps:
- In Quartus Programmer, click Auto Detect and re-assign the .sof to the detected FPGA device (do not reuse an older .cdf).
- Lower the JTAG clock in Hardware Setup and retry programming.
Regards,
Fakhrul
