Dear folks,

I am having this same problem "could not establish JTAG connection between the board and control panel application. Please ensure the board is configured with the correct programming file and download cable is connected properly to the board.". I have went through all the replies to this problem and couldn't find any satisfying solution. I am using Cyclone II, EP3C25F324 starter kit v12.0.0, along with Quartus II 13.0 programmer. I used 'cycloneIII_3c25_start_niosII_standard.sof' for fpga configuration using the Quartus II 13.0 programmer and it shows 100% success in the JTAG mode.

One of the solutions stated is above is to use version 9 for Quartus II , NIOS II and related softwares. But that don't seem a convincing approach for me.

I am a tyro to fpga programming, please help.
