We are using MAXV and Quartus Prime Lite Edition. We purchased a USB-Blaser II. We are able to program the device, however in between "sessions" when we plug in the USB it sometimes fails to recogn...
Thanks for the quick reply, I apologize for the delay as I only work on this intermittently. In answer to your questions: 1) Did you try on another PC?
-- Unfortunately I only have the tools on one machine and am working remotely so I cannot try this quickly. I'll give it a try next time I am on site.
2) Did you try on another board? Only this board is having this problem?
-- It is happening on two boards, however they are the same development / prototype board so are essentially the same. I don't think it is board related as it happens with the JTAG unplugged. As stated the tell-tale sign is the JTAG frequency does not populate when in hardware setup dialog. The JTAG does not need to be plugged in for this.
3- Did this connection ever worked normally before? Did this problem happen after working for a while, or it never really worked well?
-- This is our first time using the tools. The first time we plugged it in it worked fine. Seems like the problem occurs after unplug / plug the USB cable, even if quartus is shut down. I never has worked "well", once it works it is fine and repeatable. Once it stops working then I go through the procedure described above:
"go into device manager and "uninstall device" and then unplug/plug in the cable to get it to work"
4) Could you screenshot the JTAG part schematic? Double check the JTAG pin connection is correct.
-- I attached PDF of the MAX V / JTAG portion of schematic. Since when it works, it works well and it happens without the JTAG connected I don't believe it is HW/PCB related.
Although it is cumbersome, I am able to work with it as I am not making frequent changes to the CPLD, my concern is when we finally go into production.
Probably won't be of help but here is some more info on PC
