Hi DGiar,

The Cyclone V E Dev Kit is built with on-board USB Blaster II type B. Even in the screen shot that you provided before was showing that Quartus programmer was using USB Blaster II to program the .jic file. You can refer to the attached screen shot that I have include a snippet of the Cyclone V E Dev Kit Reference Manual which mentioned on-board USB Blaster II type B.

Thus, please try to reduce the USB Blaster II TCK value to either 16Mhz or lower. For the steps to change the USB Blaster II TCK value, please refer to the following KDB link:

Once you have change the TCK value, please try to program the .jic file if this help to fix the issue.

Regards,

Nooraini
