New ContributorUSB Blaster has stopped working
I am running Quartus 16.1 standard on Windows 10, and have been debugging my firmware with SignalTap II connected through the USB-Blaster. This has worked fine up until last night when it could no longer find the device. I've tried different boards, I've tried a different USB blaster. Nothing works. If I go to the programming tool and debug the JTAG chain it shows the expected device (Cyclone V SX) and an unknown device. It seems to be misreading the SOC? What could have changed? I've tried installing v20.1 but that USB Blaster driver won't install.
Any clues?
