7 years agoThat step requires JTAG. If it cannot find the board, either your cable has a problem or your JTAG service is not working correctly. Try "quartus_pgm -a" to see if it detects the board. If not, kiill the jtagd service and run "quartus_pgm -a" again as root. Note that there is a long-standing issue with the jtag service that unless the first time quartus_pgm is called, it is called by the root account, the cable will never be detected.
