13 years ago --- Quote Start --- I have Windows 7 64 bit. I installed Quartus V12.0sp2 and kept getting the error. Error (209066): The instruction register length for the EP4CGX15BF14 device at position 1 in the JTAG chain is unknown Error (209012): Operation failed When trying to program. I installed the stand alone programmer for 12.0sp2 and hey presto the problem went away. Just like it did on the previous versions (11.x)..... Seriously guys...... --- Quote End --- And now I cannot see USB blaster through the programmer any more. Seriously. Altera software is utter %^&#......... If I could walk away from using this joke development system right now I would.
