14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I'm glad that at least the drivers are ok. The problem is probably with Quartus then? --- Quote End --- I'm really not sure. The biggest pain with the BeMicro board is that it does not use the standard Altera USB-Blaster circuit. --- Quote Start --- And it happened in two different computers. Maybe it is really something going on in the BeMicro board. Can it be a faulty board sent to me by Arrow? --- Quote End --- Anything is possible. I don't really have any other suggestions. I have been looking at direct access to boards using the FTDI D2XX drivers. Those drivers can be used to access the BeMicro. However, I have not done any work with the BeMicro yet. I won't get a chance to look at it for a while either, so cannot offer any code. If you wanted to debug the board, look at the FTDI JTAG example designs. I'm pretty sure that Arrow have just wired the BeMicro according to FTDI's recommended JTAG circuit on port A, and then have a serial connection for port B. This is a lot more work that you'd planned on, but you might learn something useful. Cheers. Dave
