Hi, I browsed forum and known issue, no solution found.
Programmer 19.1 was installed on win7pro, same issue.
checked full quartus19.1 on Linux, no solution to none of issue, removed after a while to free up hdd space.
just to test plugged out then in USB Blaster, dmesg:
[170212.789879] usb 3-3.4.3: USB disconnect, device number 20
[170215.827861] usb 3-3.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 21 using xhci_hcd
[170215.941054] usb 3-3.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=09fb, idProduct=6001
[170215.941061] usb 3-3.4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[170215.941064] usb 3-3.4.3: Product: USB-Blaster(Altera)
[170215.941068] usb 3-3.4.3: Manufacturer: Altera
[170215.941071] usb 3-3.4.3: SerialNumber: 8D792F7A5454
so device is enumerated and in working order, it work from 15.0, fail on more recent version. Not sure if from 15.1 or 16.x, removed all release from 18.0 downto 15.1
lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 016: ID 0483:3748 STMicroelectronics ST-LINK/V2
Bus 003 Device 021: ID 09fb:6001 Altera Blaster
both device are on active debug over MAX10 board. Same issue is present if jtag server is accessed from Win7PROEN VM (Terasic toolkit) or real machine where it was win10 (Bleah) now dual boot win7proIT , ubuntu 18.4 (fresh new clean, prepared to parallel test quartus issue).
Edit:
Test after .pof action verify, required restart JTAGD too, dmesg report nothing, lsusb is same, just erase work on new version but not verify blank check nor program, this issue is stable from the past, just realized now is a software issue not hardware after 4 different adapter buy.
Original (old cyclone II kit), clone and Terasic on board suffer same way.
15.0 is retained due more recent version forbid use pin near pll clock input and old board need to be maintained.
Best regards
