    Hmmmmm ...

    it was just an idea as we had exactly the same messages after we moved from Q4.2 to Q5.0 with a project that was created with q4.1 (with nios1.1) and we were unable to use the flashprommer too but quartus prommer via JTAG and signaltap worked. even the ide debugger worked !

    it was just the ide that had problems with our target using the flashprommer

    back to q4.2 and everything was fine.

    So we just created a new "mktarget..." board under q5.0 nios5.0 and those messages went away without a single change in our project except a recompile under q5.0 pointing to this new target board

    hi mountain8848,

    you said " The fact :

    1. Using ByteBlasterII will cause those error.

    2. Using ByteBlasterMV turn out OK!

    I use byteblasterMV to try the run... function, but the niosII display jtag device can not surport this download cable, maybe the cyclone device only surport byteblasterII or usb blaster, how do you use byteblasterMV as a jtag cable?
