    I have to ask, have you attempted to do a run? (make sure its not a communication problem).

    Also do you have any more information other than the one line error message?

    Is the blue light on USB Blaster still on also when you are not debugging?

    if yes, disconnect the usb blaster and connect it again...

    I've had the same problem.

    It actually WAS a cummunication problem... although it had nothing to do with cables and stuff: At my system, the watchdog device was active and was resetting my system while I was downloading the software via JTAG.

    Hope this helps the next one with the same problem ;-)
