You say that the USB cable is no longer recognized, even if you use a different PC?

I would guess your USB cable is broken. Do you have any chance to try another USB cable?

cheers,

Alex

edit:

OH, so the board itself is not shown in the programmer.

But your USB cable does work with the board of your classmate?

Seems you killed the board itself. If you are student and the board is poperty of your university, don't worry too much. Just ask your Prof. for another board.

Universitys usually get those boards pretty cheap.

I don't know if there is a way to reset the board to the standard test program. I think not because you have used active serial programming already.

Maybe you send a reply to Altera support and ask for their help.

Good Luck!
