Requesting you to resolve the programming and GUI issues on Cyclone V SX SoC Development Kit

Hi Balchan,
 

Thanks for the details. Here is a clear action you may try to resolve the issues.

1. Programming fails in Quartus (“Progress Failed”)

• Install the Intel FPGA Download Cable II driver: Device Manager → Update driver → browse to C:\intelFPGA_lite\20.1\quartus\drivers. If Windows blocks it, install the latest “Quartus Prime Programmer and Tools” to get the updated driver.
• In Quartus Programmer: Hardware Setup → select “Intel FPGA Download Cable II” → Auto Detect → click Yes to update the chain → assign your .sof to device 5CSXFC6D6F31 → Program.
• Set board switches for JTAG not bypassed: HPS_JTAG_EN=OFF, FPGA_JTAG_EN=OFF, HSMA_JTAG_EN=ON, MAX_JTAG_EN=OFF.
• If it still fails, lower the JTAG clock (jtagconfig --setparam 1 JtagClock 6M), then retry. Power the board first, then connect the cable and program.

1. “Auto detected device chain does not match the Programmer’s device list”

• This prompt is expected when the scan differs from your current list. Click Yes to overwrite, then make sure the .sof is assigned to 5CSXFC6D6F31 only.

1. Board Test System GUI missing (“BoardTestSystem.bat not found”)

• Install the Cyclone V SX SoC Development Kit package. It installs the Board Test System GUI and examples. Then follow “Preparing the Board” and “Running the Board Test System” steps in the user guide.

Please share your Windows version, board revision (Power Solution 1 or 2), and a screenshot of the Programmer window if any issue remains. I’ll adjust the exact switch map and paths for your unit.
