13 years ago --- Quote Start --- If this is the onboard blaster chip, we have not had much success with it either. We have had to use an external blaster on the header pins --- Quote End --- Jderrick: 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: Connecting to the target... 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.
