Error : Can't configure device - stratixIII development board

Good morning,

I am currently trying to configure my Altera stratixIII development board with my ".sof" file that containes my SoC design.

I am currently using the NIOSII command shell with the command "nios2-configure-sof".

What I want is to configure the device using the JTAG protocol and the USB-Blaster programming cable.

I changed the switch SW1 so that to set FPGA_BYPASS and MAX_ENABLE to '1'.

Unfortunately, I am unable to configure the device and I get the following message:

"Error: Can't configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x021020DD for device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0x121020DD."

It seems that there is a problem with the JTAG ID but only one bit is different. Do you think that it is a problem with one of the connections I made ?

Do you have an idea to solve this problem ?

Many thanks,

Alexis

    It looks like you have selected the wrong device in Quartus.

    0x121020DD is the code for a EP3SL150, but you have compiled for a EP3SL150ES.

    Actually, I do not select the device since it is already defined in the "sof file".

    The device which is selected is: EP3SL150F1152

    What I do not understand is the fact that it works correctly when I use the same sof file on my colleague's computer.
