Programmer error in auto-detecting the FPGA

Hi,

In Cyclone 10 GX board, when I try autodetecting the devices in programmer, in recent times, Quartus 18.1 pro programmer is not detecting the 10CX220Y.

I tried renaming the unknown device ID and changing the instruction register length to 10.

After that I was able to program the device, but still couldn’t run the nios application code. For some reasons, the Eclipse is not detecting the target connection path.

I tried uninstalling all the pro version, and when I reinstall, the autodetect feature works for a couple a times, and then It keeps repeating the same error. The blaster driver seems to be good too.I would really appreciate any suggestions on this.

    Hi,

    Did you try to refresh the connection on Eclipse? Uncheck the systemID check box to see if the Eclipse will detect the NIOS II.

    Hi,

    I did, it still didn't show up.

    But reinstalling the programmer solved it.

    Thanks!!!
