14 years agoMy apology to the OP and others who were confused when I said QuartusII does not support Win 7. In fact it does as indicated in the attachment and was pointed out by thepancake. Like I said, my experience with QuartusII on Win 7 is learned from my coworker who is an experienced FPGA designer. He was having unexplained/random problems even when running subscription version on either 32-bit and 64-bit Win 7. (That's why I haven't upgraded to Win 7.) Everything was working for him fine in Win XP but then do not work in Win 7, similar symptom that the OP sees. In my opinion, this is a battle that may not be worth fighting unless you have to use Win 7.
The reason I said unexplained/random is because it'd work for some people in Win 7 but then wouldn't work for others. That's why it's unexplained. --- Quote Start --- Quartus does support Windows 7, and i've created numerous .jic files on it without issue Quartus also supports running the 32-bit app on a 64-bit OS, or running the 64-bit application natively OP: what version of Quartus are you running? have you tried to verify the EPCS after programming via .jic? --- Quote End ---
