Device cannot start

Hello,,

I use Cyclone iii ls (EP3CLS200F780C7N) Development Board.

I Tried to configure ROM (EPM2210F256C3N).

But I received unexpected output..

All JTAG Anti-Tamper select, Configuration Select and Configuration Status LED's illuminate.

Moreover, PC doesn't detect Kit anymore. When I tried re-install driver but a text appeared Saying "Device cannot start".

Can anyone help me pleeeeeeease??

Thanks

    It seems you have erased maxII region within flash.

    You have to use recovery maxII firmwave to program flash throught maxII pld. You can find it on CD that was supplied with board.

    Right. You can't detect kit because one's detecting through maxII pld, rather maxII pld implements onboard usb-blaster. maxII config contains in certain rom sector.

    So, similar issue may occur when you erase rom sector containing maxII config.
