I installed the Intel programming software V18. This is the stand alone GUI programmer and I am using Win10. The list of checkboxes I can activate: Program/Configure Verify Blank-Check Security...

6 years agoYou cannot check those functions to be used because they are not supported for that family in recent versions of the Quartus software.
The last version of software that supports the EPM7K family is 13.0sp1 for compiling from source (Verilog,VHDL) to POF files for program/verify.
Even 13.0sp1 does not support ERASE/EXAMINE(READBACK). You need to go back to IIRC MaxPlus 9.0 or earlier for image readback.
I use 13.0sp1 on Win7 64b to compile Verilog to EPM7000S parts and then program/verify POF images with a Terasic USB Blaster.
So if you are trying to readback a really old device because you 'lost' the POF images files you are most likely out of luck.
