1 year agoMost newer boards have the USB Blaster hardware on the board itself so all you have to do is connect a standard USB cable.
But your older board doesn't look like it has that. So you've got a USB Blaster "pod" with the 10-pin JTAG connector connected to the JTAG port on the board?
Just to confirm you clicked that "Currently selected hardware" drop-down and there was nothing listed there?
If you can use a command shell, try running the jtagconfig executable in the Quartus bin directory to verify that the computer really isn't seeing any JTAG connection.

1 year agoYes, that is correct.
The jtagconfig command shows: "Remote Local Server: Unable to connect". Does this mean the computer isn't actually recognizing it?
