I'm using an external USB blaster which connects the development card JTAG header to a USB cable and then to a laptop.

Updating to 12.1 with the most recent dp5 patch seems to have fixed my problem. Board Test System no longer complains about not detecting the USB Blaster, however, I am now getting the following error message:

java.lang.Exception: Could not find device 0x029030DD

This problem could be caused by an older version of Quartus. Please ensure Quartus 9.0 is installed.

The GX development kit is installed in a 12.0 directory.

Thanks for the help.
