    Hi,

    Noted with thanks on the follow-up regarding the JTAG server errors (209034 and 209053).

    The combination of these two errors points to a JTAG server issue. Here is how to address each:

    • Error 209034 — JTAG Server not running: Open a Command Prompt as Administrator and run \quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe --start. To avoid this in future, enable the "Install JTAG Server as a Windows service and run automatically when Windows starts" option. Refer to Installing and Configuring jtagserver on Windows for full details.
    • Error 209053 / error code 44: Run jtagserver -v to confirm the version in use. If it is not v18.1 Standard Edition, switch to it — a newer version from a second Quartus installation may be overriding it. To force the correct version, navigate to \quartus\bin64 or \qprogrammer\bin64 and run qreg.exe --force --setqdir --jtag []. See Error (209053): Unexpected error in JTAG server --error code 44 for more information.
    • Arrow USB Blaster driver conflict: Open Device Manager and check for any warning symbols on the Arrow USB Blaster entry. Try unplugging other USB peripherals to rule out a conflict. See Why is my USB Blaster II not detected by Quartus II on Windows? for guidance.

    Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Best Wishes,
