jtagserver.exe causing BSOD together with ftdi driver
Dear developers in the same shoe like me,
I am facing a strange issue, and would like to ask others whether they have similar problem:
Quartus Prime Pro 25.3.0 was installed first and in use with USB Blaster III (evalkit)
After some time (probably windows pulled some newer driver components) each time when I plugged in the evalboard it was crashing the system.
With WinDBG analyzing the minidump it turned out the responsible was jtagserver.exe
calling some unknown function in ftdibus.sys
"PROCESS_NAME: jtagserver.exe
SYMBOL_NAME: ftdibus+f4d4
MODULE_NAME: ftdibus
IMAGE_NAME: ftdibus.sys
STACK_COMMAND: .cxr; .ecxr ; kb
BUCKET_ID_FUNC_OFFSET: f4d4
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0x139_a_GUARD_ICALL_CHECK_FAILURE_ftdibus!unknown_function
OSPLATFORM_TYPE: x64
OSNAME: Windows 10 --> this is windows 11
FAILURE_ID_HASH: {3a7c8e82-5c61-9acf-ceb5-61656fa0b04c}"
And here comes the strange part:
Reinstalling the driver with dp_inst.exe from Quartus directory helped until next restart or at least for 1-2 hours. Then power cycling evalboard caused a crash again.
When I fresh reinstalled driver and plugged in again the evalboard again everything was fine.
When I updated to the latest quartus, the driver package in it was causing crash again.
And I mean here reinstalling driver from the 25.3.1 quartus version did not change a thing.
Anybody facing similar issue: I recommend installing Windows SDK and use WinDBG there for crashdump analysis to confirm this.
I am looking forward for any feedback or stable solution idea.
Kind regards,
Peter
