I am sorry. I threw a tantrum and it won't happen again.
I am using two boards from Terasic and have used Quartus 9.2sp2 with Windows 7. I have a DE0 and the Cyclone V GX starter kit.
In the past, the programmer simply worked without a hitch on the DE0 and then, after another good few sessions, it stopped working. I forget the exact error when it quit working, but now, when I try to program the part, I select the USB Blaster hardware and add it in the dialog box, but then a message about the Ethernet blaster server pops up. I don't have an ethernet server, nor an ethernet blaster.
I have fiddled with various versions of Quartus, learning that Windows 7 support did not come until v. 10.0.
I have tried re-installing the drivers to no avail. I managed to get the stand alone programmer for version 10.0 to work one evening, but after that, it quit like all the rest. I fail to recall exactly what steps I took to finally make the programmer be recognized and function. Following the directions to the best of my ability has failed me.
My frustration, and I thank you if you will even consider listening to me after my rant, is that this same topic has appeared numerous times and none of the solutions seem to work.
I am at work now and away from my hardware, but if desired, and you might indulge me, I can post a screen shot.
Again, sorry for my childish behavior.
Oh, I forgot to say, I have not even attempted anything with my new GX development board as I figure the problem will be the same there.
