Hi,

  1. Check the FPGA part number, Is it same?
  2. Are you able to “auto-detect” to detect the physical device in the JTAG chain?
  3. Check the status of nCE,nCONFIG and nSTATUS pins.
  4. Check pull-up/pull-down resistors and also check the soldering contact.
  5. Check the power supplies are ramped up to the appropriate voltage level according to the POR requirements. Refer below link for POR.
