How to identify two different de0-nano boards by TCL (Quartus_stp) in a single host PC

Hi SyafieqS,

I found that “quartus_sh –qhelp” shows the same description as the Command-Line Tcl Manual from Intel.

I can distinguish two Altera USB-blaster(de0-nano) with different Ports [0,1,2,…].

Initially, USB Blaster(de0-nano) is reported as [USB-0]; plugging a new Altera device, the original one forces USB Blaster to jump to [USB-1], so quartus_stp connects to these two boards distinguish by different Port seems not a good way.

So I’m looking to change the device description from USB-blaster to such as de0-nano-01, 02, etc.

I tried to change the description by FT-PROG, by this article.

But it didn’t work.

Both boards have programmed .jic files into EEPROM to boot up with my program. I wonder if I should change the description or serial number in Quartus, but I don’t know how to use it
