14 years agoI too am having the same problem with USB-Blaster running on a Macbook Pro with VMWare Fusion Version 3.1.1 (282344). I'm running windows 7 in the vm. The blaster can detect the fpga but I get an error when I try to program. Running the latest web edition of Quartus ii v11.
My USB-Blaster(clone):oops: does work on my Windows XP computer just fine. I too think it may be a VMWare thing. Need to run my VM on my XP box to make sure it is not the usb port on the mac not having enough power to power the blaster. Laptops have been known to do this at times. -Mike
