Hi there,

Sorry, I am a technical engineer. For repair-related issues, please consult your sales representative or the local Altera sales team. However, as far as I know, there are no repair personnel in the Shanghai region.

Regarding your issue, there are a few possible causes, ranked by severity:

  1. Chip damage – If the FPGA chip is damaged, it cannot be repaired.
  2. Power system failure on the board – This could cause the FPGA to receive abnormal power supply. If the board is not a complex one like Agilex or Stratix, it is relatively easier to repair. You can refer to the official schematics and check the key power rails. In most cases, the issue is likely due to a faulty Power regulator chip.
  3. JTAG connection issue – Since the USB cable communicates with the FPGA through the JTAG chain, you may try using a different USB Blaster or check the continuity of the JTAG connection for troubleshooting.

Best regards,

WZ

    Hello, we are using Arria10 series development boards.
    Do you know the maintenance points in Chinese Mainland? Let's try to contact them. Because we were unable to reach the Altera sales team, there was no human answering the phone.

    Thank you very much.
