12 years agoThat error message is a JTAG programming error message I believe.
I don't have a DE2, but if it's like the DE0, the PROG mode switch switches it so you are talking to the Active Serial flash device. So you program that with the POF file. If you want to talk to it via JTAG, it's left in RUN mode. The other possibility is you have a bad USB Blaster. They are have transceivers on their outputs that can be damaged if ever over-voltaged, or left connected to the board when not connected to a USB power source. Pete
