I did notice some "check JTAG chain" messages, however... here's my output when trying to read the ID (I do have two devices on the JTAG chain and I get the same result for -d 1 or -d 2):

Info: Command: quartus_hps -c 1 -d 1 -o S

Current hardware is: USB-BlasterII [USB-1]

Successfully change hardware frequency to 16Mhz

Found HPS at device 2

Double check JTAG chain

HPS Device IDCODE: 0x4BA00477

AHB Port is located at port 0

APB Port is located at port 1

Double check device identification ...

Boot Info: 1.8V QSPI Flash

Clock Select: 0

Start HPS Quad SPI flash programming ...

Initialize QSPI peripheral and flash controller ...

Assuming QSPI controller system clock is 50Mhz

QSPI controller baudrate setting: 32 (15)

Read Silicon ID of Quad SPI flash ...

Quad SPI Flash silicon ID is 0xFFFFFFFF
