Hi,

I think I am also facing a similar problem, and this discussion may be useful to me, but I have not understood the solution from this thread, can someone please explain it again.

I am using Altera Max II dev kit (MAXII-1270N), with Quartus 9.1 Build 222, Byteblaster II JTAG programmer. Even though all my projects compile succesfully, I am not able to program the device, the programmer inexplicably fails to load the .pof file. The problem is not with the JTAG programmer. When I try to program, I get JTAG ID, Silicon ID, then "Error: Operation Failed". No more information! Even the Functional tests supplied by Altera (to check all functions of the dev kit) fail to program the device. The "generate compressed bitstream" option is greyed out, ie unavailable for this device.

Thanks
