Hello, I unfortunately think I have the same problem.

I recently launched BoardTestSytem.exe and clicked on restore Max10 to make sure I was starting from a fresh state, but after re-programming it is not able to connect to the board anymore.

Is there any more information on how to recover or have I bricked my development board?

    I was able to resolve by manually loading the Max10 system firmware through Quartus programmer. The procedure is to open Programmer, select USB-BlasterII (it is on-board dev kit), auto-detect devices (select 10M08SA then 10CS220Y in the prompts), right click 10M08SA and CHANGE file to devkit_collateral\examples\system_max10\max10.pof (be sure not to ADD file), at the top check Program/Configure next to the line with the file path, then hit START.

    The instructions provided by Intel for factory reset are not very detailed hope this helps someone.

    Still having issues with BTS but not related to this thread.
