JTAG Chain Broken – Unable to Program Agilex 5 Modular Development Board

Hi,
I recently started working with the Agilex 5 Modular Development Board, and it suddenly can no longer be programmed.
The USB cable in use is known to be working.
When I connect the cable, it is detected, but when I run the “Auto Detect” option in the Quartus Programmer, I receive the following message:

When running the JTAG Chain Test, I see the following result:

I also tried using the Configuration Debugger, but when I attempt to select the hardware cable, I encounter Error code 87:

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue, and I can provide additional details or logs if needed.

    Hello, 

     

    Can you use Configuration Debugger tool? 

    Menu > Tools > Configuration Debugger

    load device > see if it can detect the Agilex 5. 

     

    regards,

    Farabi

      Hi Farabi,

      As shown in the images in my original post, when I try to select the Agilex 5 in the Configuration Debugger, an error code appears in the Programmer messages window.

      More specifically, I go to Menu > Tools > Configuration Debugger > Hardware Setup, then under “Currently selected hardware” I choose “Agilex_5E MDK Carrier [USB-1]” and click “Close,” and immediately after closing the dialog the error message appears.

        Hello Daniel, 

         

        Looks like the on-board usb blaster has problem/damaged?

        Do you have USB-Blaster II programming cable and try to connect to JTAG port and program? 

         

        Please give me your board serial number, lets see if it still under warranty. 

         

        regards,

        Farabi
