USB Blaster help
- 3 years ago
Apparently Intel's drivers for the Byte Blaster are not signed in Windows 10. So Windows doesn't allow them to work.
Here's what I found to get it function:
1 - Go to windows 10 settings and search for "advanced startup options"
2 - Under Advanced startup, hit "Restart now"
3 - After a moment, you'll get a "choose an option" screen - choose "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced options", then "Startup Settings"
4 - You'll get a screen telling you what you will be able to change and a single "Restart" button - press it.
5 - You'll be given a menu of options, number 7 disables driver signature enforcement
6 - When the PC restarts, use Device manager to update the drivers, point to the "drivers" folder in your quartus install directory
7 - When you've finished, restart normally to re-enable signature enforcement

Thank you for this suggestion!
Unfortunately, it did not seem to make any difference. The USB Blaster is still not seen by the Programmer window.
