Hi

i am trying to get the board test system to connect to the Cyclone III development board with no success. i have got all the board connected up, changed the PCM switch to number 1 as it says to but the board test system continues to say connecting to the target. i have tried restoring the board to deafault factory settings no joy there. I have also tried to download the sof packages that come with the development kit that is installed but these download fine but it still will not connect..

Have you got any ideas?

I have not got any of teh issues you mentioned here

multiple blaster connection (I assume this BTS only can detect 1 balster at a time)

different Quartus version is activated (BTS has version dependency)

board itself has sometihng issue

you have different version of JRE(Java Runtime Environment)

you are running it on win7 or Vista. I think this BTS only support XP32bit officially

cheers
