Cyclone IV EP4CE15 FPGA JTAG programming issue

Hello,

I have USB Blaster Rev. C and I have ready made .Jic file only for my FPGA. (I have no other file except .Jic file)

My FPGA chip is on the main board and also have a JTAG connector on it.

FPGA is Cyclone IV type - EP4CE15F256

I downloaded Quartus Programmer and also I have USB blaster drive for windows 7 64 bits and also programmer detect it successful.

But when I try to programmed it, it showed programming failed error.

So my questions are,

Is there any setting to do specially for the Cyclone IV series device ?

Also Is there any way to program it by setting in software / Hardware manually or any other way ?

Please let me know about it if there any.

Help me in this issue for programming my device.

Please reply me about it with necessary details.

Regards

Thanks in advance

Jaymin D

    Are you still having issues with this?

    The .jic file you specify is only used to program an external configuration flash device attached to the FPGA. Do you have an EPCS (or similar) configuration device attached to your FPGA?

    As long as the .jic file has been generated for the right target FPGA, with a valid .sof file, the Quartus programmer should manage to program the configuration flash.

    Cheers,
