Error 45

Hi

I'm using Quartus II to program a non-volatile security key (.ekp file) into an FPGA. However I keep getting this error message -

Info: Ended Programmer operation at Mon Nov 17 15:03:01 2014

Info: Started Programmer operation at Mon Nov 17 15:04:48 2014

Info: Device 1 contains JTAG ID code 0x020E10DD

Info: Programming device 1

Info: Programming the EP2SGX30 device at position 1 for exclusive-secure bitstream configuration

Error: Unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 45

Error: Operation failed

Info: Ended Programmer operation at Mon Nov 17 15:04:49 2014

I'm using an Ethernet Blaster II. Does anyone know what error 45 is or what I might be doing?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I am getting the very same error message : unexpected error in jtag server -- error code 45 when trying to program a non-volatile key (.ekp) into a Stratix II.

    The JTAG chain is well detected.

    The Ethernet Blaster II's firmware is up-to-date (April 2016).

    No problem when programming the external flash (.jic)

    Also, programming the .ekp with a former Ethernet Blaster (not II) works flawlessly !

    After I posted my original post I did find a solution. It a long time ago but from what I remember, it was due to incompatible programmer firmware & hardware combination. I think I had to reinstall the application as well.
