I am brand new to Altera stuff so I got the Max V dev kit and I am going to start learning but I have a snag here. It says No USB Blaster detected, even though I installed the driver and its right there in the device manager. Here's pic
http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12146&stc=1 Also is there a really really basic 'getting started guide for max V', like how to open a max V dev kit example design in Quartus and compile/upload it to the max V dev kit (with links to the example code and explain which version of Quartus because there are MANY)?
The Altera ecosystem is very daunting for a person coming from TI and Xilinx. I need baby steps.

Hey nickw1881, I believe this link might be useful to you:
https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd10312012_472.html The board test system is rather peculiar with the environment variable setting. You may refer to the related solution in the link that I have provided you for the method to set the environment variable in your PC.
This is actually quite a common issue which should go away once the environment variable is set. Another thing to look out is on the USB Blaster installation:
https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/drivers/usb-blaster/dri-usb-blaster-vista.html The link is pretty detailed as a guide for you to check if the UB is installed properly. Good luck using the BTS! Cheers!
