Programmer freezes on BeMicro CV - used to work fine

Thank you Dave,

I bought mine last week from Arrow, arrived Thursday. I did try your design, same problem, there is no access via the built in USB blaster at all. None of the usual functions like erase work, all just hang indefinitely (but a real USB Blaster works fine with other boards). Even when the JTAG "worked" it would hang at 93% completed. At first, active serial would give a quick blink of the LED and indicate failure on screen almost immediately. Now everything just hangs. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the driver and also downloading Quartus 14.0

My initial test project was about as simple as it gets, a 32 bit counter from the 50Mhz clock driving two LEDs. I saw it work briefly on two occasions where the JTAG sort of worked. I've used this project for years as a simple first test with no problems (been working with Altera parts since the days of the classic parts).

I am debating if I can rip out or disable a few pins on the Max chip and wire its 10 pin blaster header to the EPCS16 instead. Too tired to try that tonight however plus I would like to see what the FAE has to say first.

Thank you for your assistance, I wish it had worked.
