ARM DS USB BLASTER or USB BLASTER II ?

Good morning everyone. I have a custom board with the CycloneV SoC on board. This board has 2 JTAG connectors, one for the FPGA configuration and the other for the HPS section. I wanted to know if...

    UPDATE 07/13/2024:

    After an endless series of tests I finally understood that the problem was simply the fact that I was trying to debug an application compiled to run on the DDR SDRAM, without having initialized the DDR via u-boot!
    Now I can debug ARM DS with both USB-Blaster-II and USB-BLASTER-I (both work)!
    Now I'm trying to understand if there is a driver for ETHERNET that I can use in BARE-METAL mode.
    Does Intel's HWLIB have this driver for CYCLONE V SoC?
    Regards, Luca.

I wanted to inform you that I purchased the USB Blaster II, 
but unfortunately the problem has remained unchanged.
I also wanted to ask if there is a step by step guide to be able to compile and debug bare-metal 
on the cyclonev soc with the arm ds software (not arm-ds5 which is declared obsolete!).
I would like to be able to use the Boot-Rom - > Preloader -> BareMetal-App configuration
