A new Altera USB Blaster, Rev C stopped working. Error code given in programming software says: BAD 209012 Operation Failed.

Altera USB Blaster, Rev C for programming. I have moved this USB blaster to another computer, same issue. Another blaster was put on this computer, same setup, worked.

Is there any way to get this blaster to work?

    Hi LJen1,

    The error message 209012 can be caused by one of the following situations:

    • Communications cables not securely connected
    • Incorrect device selected
    • No power to target system

    Have you try command "jtagconfig' your new USB Blaste device? and, please show me the screenshot of jtagconfig.

    • open Command Prompt ---> go to Quartus directory <Quartus installation directory>intelFPGA\18.1\quartus\bin64> ---> run jtagconfig

    Cheers
