    Can you share a screenshot of the programmer?

    Hi,

    Perform the following steps,

    1. Visual check: Factory Default Switch and Jumper Settings, FPGA chip leads, LEDs status etc.

    2. To successfully use the USB-Blaster cable, disconnect it before power up the board. Once you power on the board, then reconnect the USB-Blaster cable.

    3. Open Quartus II Programmer

    4. Click Auto Detect(or else Check Add Device->select 10M50DAF484 )

    5. Add .sof file

    6. Turn on Program/Configure option.

    7. Click Start.

    8. Check the nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, nCONFIG signal status.

    Best Regards

    Hi,

    Install the Intel FPGA Download Cable II since your screenshot showing Altera USB-blaster II unconfigured, Refer the following link,

    https://www.altera.com/documentation/iga1446847781805.html

    Try using another USB-Blaster II download cable as well.

    Well I have even the USB-Blaster (not the newer USB-Blaster II) running under Windows10. I just went to device manger, right click on the device, update driver, use driver on computer, point to the driver directory of the Quartus II Installation. That worked pretty well :-)
