Hello HRZ,

Yeah you were right. AOCL invokes PCIe first before JTAG. I have connected both USB and PCIe but unable to program. Should I install any kind of additional drivers to program the FPGA. I am getting the error Error (213013): Programming hardware cable not detected when I run quartus_pgm -a command. I am pretty sure the PCIe is properly connected.

When I run the helloworld example I get the error MMD FATAL: acl_pcie.cpp:71: can't find handle -1 -- aborting

host: acl_pcie.cpp:71: ACL_PCIE_DEVICE* get_pcie_device(int): Assertion `0' failed.
