Hi,

As per the Ethernet Blaster II user guide, it supports Cyclone V. Refer: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ethernetblasterii.pdf


Are you using a development kit or is it your custom board?

Few suggestions to debug the issue:

1) Give a try with another cable, if you have.

2) Check the MSEL settings on the board.

3) Check other jumper settings etc. and make sure the JTAG chain is enabled properly.

4) What is the default state of the LED on Ethernet blaster? What color do you see after GREEN blink?


Regards

Hello,

Are the MSEL settings done via jumpers?

I have attached a photo of the PCB of the Ethernet blaster 1.

LED briefly blicks Blue when trying to auto detect the FPGA.

As for the cable, it is like that, see photo 2.

We use our own boards with Cyclone 5 and stratix 3 without issue with the USB blaster.
