the ERROR 82 in the JTAG server

I am using trying to use the USB blaster to program my device

I have been able to program EPCS4N EEPROM once.

The Quartus program “QUIT” with an unexpected error and I have not been able to program the EEPROM again, on any of the boards I have

I now get the error “Attempted to access JTAG server -- internal error code 82 occurred”

I have gone through the help for. I have followed the instructions listed, with out any positive results.

I have uninstalled the Quartus II 8.0 web based program, Using Regedit I have removed all entries of Quartus and JTAG from the registry and reinstalled the Quartus II 8.0 web based program.

I still get the error. Please help

    "I now get the error “Attempted to access JTAG server -- internal error code 82 occurred” "

    I also had the same problem. It was gone after I stopped the firewall.

    Hi guys I've got the same problem but in my case that solution doesn't work...

    I switched off the firewall (Windows 7 64 -default firewall). I switched off all functions in my antivir (nod32 x64). But without any results. Next I was uninstall my antivir- no results. Reinstalation of Quartus ant antivir doesn't make any differences.

    When I'm trying to do anything in cmd with JTAG server, I obtain only information that JTAGserver is not installed or that JTAG server32bit can't be installed on 64 bit system.

    What is wrong with that? Is there any smart solution for that problem? Iam using Quartus 11.SP1. I used it before and everything was ok. Thanks for your help.

    My solution is to install Alone Programmer 11.0 from the altera's website.

    I get the same error code. In previous version (v. 10) I installed and had to "update" the driver with the old driver version from Quartus 7.2, but now, when I try to use the Quartus 11.0, I do the same, and don´t work.

    You should be using the jtagserver from 11.0sp1 or later as that has both a 32 and 64 bit version available. If you're not sure which jtagserver you are using then on windows you can run `jtagconfig --serverinfo` and it will tell you which one is installed and running. On linux you can use `ps`. Another useful command is `netstat -an | grep 1309` which should report a process listening on the socket - if it does not (and if you ran jtagconfig or similar within the last minute or two) then you have a jtagserver problem.

    I also experienced Error 82 when using Quartus 11.0 for test on a Windows XP (32-Bit) computer and trying to add an USB Blaster to the hardware. I'm regularly using Quartus 9.0 for active projects. Interestingly jtaginfo --enum showed the server running and the USB Blaster connected with the JTAG chain.

    After executing this command, the Quartus programmer also recognized it. So there are apparently some unresolved problems with the JTAG driver of newer Quartus versions.

    I'm using Windows 7 64 bits, and the standalone Quartus II 11.0sp1 Programmer works fine, but in the previous Quartus version (10.0) I had to update the driver using the older version (from Quartus 7.2).

    Thanks!

    I have just had the same problem, after installing Quartus/NiosII v12.0sp2.

    (On a Win 7, 64 bit system).

    I have fixed the problem by downloading and installing the standalone programmer :

    12.0sp2_263

    .sof programming then works.

    cheers,

    Beau

    Ah, but the Eclipse Debugger still does not see the hardware :

    [Target Connection]: No Nios II target connection paths were located. Check connections and that a Nios II .sof is downloaded

    Exiting Eclipse and the programmer and re-running Eclipse :

    Eclipse now seems to use the standalone programmer, does the .sof programming.

    It gets further but then there is a different message :

    Downloading ELF Process failed.

    Does anyone have any ideas what I could try now ?

    I would test that your hardware connectivity is good by issuing the command `jtagconfig -n` - this should include a Nios II debug agent node.

    I would then test that you can download to the Nios II processor with a command such as `nios2-download <myfile.elf>`.

    If you have multiple processors then you will need to add extra command line options to nios2-download to tell it which one to use. The --go option is often useful too.
