in MAX 10 Dev kit

Hi Altera Community,

 

I am encountering a JTAG Server Error Code 35 when attempting to program my MAX 10 Development Kit using the USB-Blaster.

 

Below are the details of my setup and the issue:

 

Board: MAX 10 Development Kit

Programmer Cable: USB-Blaster

Problem Description:

 

When opening the Quartus Programmer and clicking Start (or running Auto Detect), the process fails with the following log:

 

Error (209053): Unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 35 Error (209040): Can't access JTAG chain

  • Yes, exactly. I am powering the board separately via USB and using a dedicated 10-pin USB-Blaster connected to the JTAG header for configuration.

    Stupid question: you're powering the board via USB power and using a separate 10-pin USB Blaster cable for configuration?  This board does not appear to have an on-board USB Blaster so you need the standard 10-pin JTAG connection to the board.  You can't program the device with just the USB connector.

    Which exact kit is this?  Does it need a separate power supply or is it powered by the USB?
