2- I look hardware set up that USB-Blaster(0)

3-But I click Auto detect so I saw "Unable to scan device chain. Cant scan JTAG chain."

4. I cant see my fpga :(

5. So Program asked me "Do u want to open the JTAG Chain Debugger to troubleshoot the Jtag chain" ? I answered "YES"

6.I click test jtag chain => "JTAG chain problem detected"

"No device detected"

7. I designed pcb card that has a fpga card.

8. I controlled my design schematic that has tjtag configuration.

    Hi Ocan,

    Please check the nCONFIG and nSTATUS signal status if are high or low when power up the MAX 10 device. You need to scope the ​nCONFIG and nSTATUS pins on the MAX 10 side to check the correct behavior. If either one of these signals are low, then Quartus programmer will not be able to detect the MAX 10 device.

    Regards,
