12 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi all, I have recently upgrade my Bittware card to Quartus 14.0 which previously had 13.1.3. I was able to successfully install the BSP and flash the board with the Bittware provided top.rbf using Bittworks. However, when I did a hard reset, my system will no longer boot. I get nothing. ... Has anyone successfully flashed this particular board? --- Quote End --- Rudy, I have spent many hours trying different permutations of settings and even different versions of the Altera SDK, and with various Bittware BSP packages. I learned today that if you load the Ver 14.0 top.rbf file with the ""Compressed" box unchecked (it is checked by default and in spite of what the Bittware docs say), then after cycling power my system finally booted ok (before it would not even post). I am now running Ver 14 of the Altera SDK; "aocl diagnose" worked just fine for my board. KEEP IN MIND that I am running WINDOWS 7 ! This procedure may or may not work for you but will at least give you another option to think about. Hope it helps.
