Quartus doesn't see USB blaster in Programmer

--- Quote Start ---

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have a few questions…

1. Do you have Vista 64? DE1?

2. after you insert the DE1 to the PC (thru USB), do you see the USB Blaster option in the quartus programmer?

3. I got with the DE1 a Quartus web edition. Did you tried that with your DE1?

On the dvd of the I got it says Altera Complete Design Suite, version 7.2 for windows… So I guess it should work with 7.2….

I do not have Quartus 9.0 anyway…

Thanks!

Roy

Yes I'm using Vista 64, but not a DE1 board. As far as I know there were a lot of problems with the USB driver and Vista 64. Try the version of Quartus 7.2 SP3 . This driver should run on Vista 64bit. You can download the Quartus Version from the Altera Homepage:
