Q13.1 (Error (209025): Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1) but Q11.1 works fine

Yet we have always been able to reprogram our EPCS16 with Quartus 11.1 (Q11.1), but we recently upgraded to Quartus 13.1 (Q13.1) and we have problems programming our EPCS16, we get this message : Err...

I'mm not using this constellation (I've implemented the active serial programming option to access the config EEPROM),but I think the problem is more the JTAG I/F rather anything "beyond" (SFL,...). Have you tried to connect the USB-Blaster to your Hardware and run an "Auto-Detect" to validate this interface is ok? While I'm not sure this is relevant for all Cyclone IV, my board uses a EP4CE15 whose JTAG "ID" is identical to a Cyclone III Device, thus with "Auto Detect" I have to choose the Cyclone IV first... Maybe your QII 13.1 issue is, that the Cyclone IV is identified as a Cyclone III...

If the JTAG Connection is ok, I'd try to configure the FPGA via JTAG with your's programming file .sof directly to check step by step... Finally - if the *.JIC file was generated by QII 11.1 it might be worth to generate this by QII 13.1, maybe this is a Version incompatibility issue...
