Hello,

I think, you are not reporting the complete error message. Normally, Quartus programmer tells why operation has failed, e. g.

--- Quote Start ---

Error: Can't access JTAG chain

Error: Operation failed

--- Quote End ---

or

--- Quote Start ---

Error: JTAG Server can't access selected programming hardware

Error: Operation failed

--- Quote End ---

The complete message could be helpful to understand the error.

Regards,

Frank
