How do I get started?

I have a MAX10 10M08 Eva board and a USB Blaster programming device. I have installed Quartus II and written a short verilog test program but cannot detect the USB Blaster or the Evaluation board. ...

Hi,

Could you please check 'Currently selected hardware' drop down menu for USB- Blaster as shown below?

provide 'device manager' screenshot to ensure USB- Blaster installed successfully.

Regards,

Vicky

    Hi,

    Under the Currently selected hardware drop down menu USB-Blaster is not shown. unfortunately I cant take a screenshot showing that drop down open.

    Attached you will find the screenshot of Device manager showing the USB-Blaster entry.

    I have also gone through the troubleshooting suggestions in the, 'ug_usb_blstr Intel FPGA download cable user guide.pdf' document.

    Here is the response to the jtagconfig --serverinfo command:

    C:\altera\16.0\quartus\bin64>jtagconfig --serverinfo

    Installed JTAG server is 'C:\altera\16.0\quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe'

    Service manager reports server is running

    Server reports path: C:\altera\16.0\quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe

    Server reports version: Version 16.0.0 Build 211 04/27/2016 SJ Standard Edition

    Remote clients are disabled (no password)

    C:\altera\16.0\quartus\bin64>jtagconfig

    No JTAG hardware available

    Regards

    John

    Vicky,

    I am also struggling to work out what support is available to me, for example when I try to access training courses such as The Quartus Software Interactive Tutorial I either get :

    Resource at '/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/training/course/odsw1050.html' not found: No resource found

    RequestURI=/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/training/course/odsw1050.html

    Servlet= /apps/sling/servlet/errorhandler/404.jsp

    ApacheSling/2.4 (jetty/9.2.17.v20160517, Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_162, Linux 4.4.21-69-default amd64)

    OR The I get the attached response when I attempt to register for a course.

    Its really blocking ability to move forward with evaluating the Max 10 for a new project.

      Hi Vicky,

      It looks like there was a problem with my USB Blaster, I have got hold of another one and it just works! Thanks for your help and patience.

      Now I just need to work out how to define and use some LVDS inputs and outputs on the Max10 (any suggestions would be appreciated) and I will be away.

      Thanks again

      John
