So when i went to tools and in that i selected programmer , So there When i click on AUTO detect , It is coming like Unable to scan the device chain, hardware is not detected . I attached the image also. Please let me know about this and also using add device option i selected the proper FPGA and I programmed , but programming the device is failed and below error is coming Error (209031): Device chain in Chain Description File does not match physical device chain -- expected 1 device(s) but found 0 device(s).Please help me to bringup this development board.Thank u

Power cycle the board and check if you accidentally have any DIP switches set that may remove the device from the JTAG chain.Since the Programmer is seeing the USB Blaster, the device should be there.

HiI did check for these but the device is still not getting detected(can you tell me whether to keep the DIP switches high or low).I tried all the possible ways looking at user manual but nothing is working out.I have one more board which is DECA MAX 10 ALTERA FPGA EVALUATION BOARD , for this board also same issue is happening ,the device is not getting detected in Quartus Prime.Can you tell me what to do about this issue.Thankyou

Could you try to install the standalone programmer and see if the same issue persist?
