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:...

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.
