DE0-Nano Control Panel connect problem

Hi,

this is my first time use Altera fpga board, i copy the "DE0_Nano_ControlPanel" folder and try to run the application, it shows connection problem due to two missing file "jtag_client.dll" and "dinkum_alt.all",

after copy two files from installation folder /bin directory, (why they don't include these two files in the folder?, user manual says just copy the folder and run the applicaiton.......)

it shows "quartus_pgm download fail(0 sec), if click "ok",

it shows "download SOPC file (DE0_Nano_ControlPanel.sof) fail!

DE0_Nano_ControlPanel.sof is existing in the folder,

so any idea what is going on there?

Thanks,

Bryce

    I have encounered this problem also.

    And i solved this issue by the method provided by "miyoung1984 (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=68592)". Thanks.

    The reason is that i did not install the "Altera USB-Blaster".

    The process is : Computer->Propertis->Device Manger-> a yellow mark is found ->" by navigating to C:\altera\10.1\quartus\drivers and letting the computer install what it felt was appropriate."(from miyong1984).

    My software version is "Quartus II 13.0 (64-bit) Web Edition".

    Follow the instructions in this link: http://www.terasic.com.tw/wiki/Altera_USB_Blaster_Driver_Installation_Instructions

    For Windows 10, do the following:

    1. Plug the USB-Blaster into your PC.
    2. Open the Device and Printers (Control Panel | Devices and Printers).
    3. Under Unspecified, USB Blaster should be listed. Right mouse click on this and then select Properties.
    4. Select the Hardware tab and select Properties.
    5. A new window should pop up with the General tab already selected. Select Change Settings.
    6. Again a new window should pop up with the General tab already selected. Select Update.

    I have the same problem "quartus_pgm download fail"

    Because I installed two versions of Quartus, so I kept "Quartus II 13.0 (64-bit) Web Edition" only.

    Then I simply reinstall Quartus II 13.0, and the problem was solved!
