Updated .brd file for Stratix 10 GX dev kit
Referencing this post: EK-10M08E144 PCB .brd file corrupted | Altera Community - 302242 The .brd file that comes in the documentation at: https://www.altera.com/products/devkit/po-3028/stratix-10-gx-signal-integrity-development-kit-h-tile ...was done in Allegro, prior to version 16.6. The only available Allegro viewer gives an error because it was done prior to version 16.6, and you need the DB Doctor utility to update the file. The only way to get the DB Doctor utility is to install Allegro. If I had Allegro...I would not be installing the Allegro viewer. Altera: As mentioned in the post above (well over a year ago), it would make sense for you to update your files so customers can view the board of their $10K+ development board. How do we make that happen? Thanks!
Quartus Programmer 21.1: JTAG Server Error Code 82 – Port 1309 Cannot Be Bound
Hello Altera Community, I am working on an FPGA project using a Cyclone IV FPGA development board and an Altera USB-Blaster. I am currently unable to program the FPGA because Quartus Programmer cannot access the JTAG server. System details: - OS: Windows 11 64-bit - Software: Quartus Programmer 21.1 - Installation path: C:\intelFPGA\21.1\qprogrammer - Programmer: Altera USB-Blaster - FPGA: Cyclone IV development board The USB-Blaster is detected by Windows Device Manager and the driver is installed. The USB-Blaster also powers on normally. However, Quartus Programmer gives: "Attempted to access JTAG server -- internal error code 82 occurred" When I run: jtagconfig I get: Error when scanning hardware - Server error Sometimes it also hangs at: Connecting to server(s) [...] I checked the JTAG server using: jtagserver --status It reports: Installed JTAG server is 'C:\intelFPGA\21.1\qprogrammer\bin64\jtagserver.exe' Server is stopped Remote clients are disabled I tried reinstalling the JTAG server: jtagserver --install jtagserver --start But the server immediately stops. I also tried: net start "Altera JTAG Server" The result was: The Altera JTAG Server service could not be started. The service did not report an error. NET HELPMSG 3534. I then ran: jtagserver.exe --foreground and received: Unable to bind changedetect socket: 10048 Can't bind to TCP port 1309 - exiting I checked the port using: netstat -ano | findstr 1309 and found that TCP port 1309 was being used/listened to by another process, for example PID 12888. I tried terminating the process using: taskkill /F /PID 12888 but Windows reported: ERROR: The process with PID 12888 could not be terminated. Reason: There is no running instance of the task. I also tried stopping the JTAG server, reinstalling it, and restarting it. In addition, I already tried the following: 1. Disabled PCI Express → Link State Power Management. 2. Disabled USB Root Hub power saving ("Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"). 3. Stopped the Print Spooler service. 4. Closed Quartus/Programmer-related applications. 5. Reinstalled the JTAG Server. 6. Restarted the computer. 7. Tried starting the JTAG server manually. 8. Checked TCP port 1309 using netstat. The problem still remains. My main questions are: 1. Why is Quartus Programmer 21.1 unable to start the JTAG Server? 2. What is causing TCP port 1309 to remain occupied? 3. Is there a known issue with Quartus Programmer 21.1 and Windows 11? 4. Is there a recommended patch, driver, or newer Quartus Programmer version for this problem? 5. Is it possible to configure the JTAG server to use another TCP port? 6. What is the correct way to completely remove and reinstall the JTAG Server on Windows 11? 7. Is there anything else I should check before reinstalling Quartus Programmer? I would appreciate any guidance on how to get the JTAG Server running so that jtagconfig can detect my USB-Blaster and FPGA. Thank you.
Cyclone IV drop in replacement confirmations
Dear Altera, If the BANK VCCIO is 1.8V and the same package but with different LE # FPGA is drop in replace. Where the original pin is a VCCA while different LE size same pin is a IO. With 1.8V on VCCIO and input fixed to VCCA aka 2.5V do this introduce any issue? As we can see the datasheet mentioned the DC input accept 3.6 or below. -> Table 1–4. Recommended Operating Conditions for Cyclone IV GX Devices (Part 2 of 2) So the C4 device have a protection forward diode to clamp the voltage when IO is set to input? As long as that pin is fixed to input state do this condition function properly? Thanks, Brian
Error (209014): CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in device 1.
I want to flash a simple led blink code bitstream file in Cyclone V E Dev kit using USB blaster. When I am trying to flash using USB blaster I am getting below error: Error (209014): CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in device 1. Make sure all communication cables are securely connected, select a different device, check the power on the target system, or make sure all nCE pins are connected to GND. The Intel FPGA Knowledge Database contains many articles with specific details on how to resolve this error. Visit the Knowledge Database at https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/search.html and search for this specific error message number. I tried to configure the DPI switch below combination: DPI SW1.1 =ON, 1.2 = ON, 1.3=ON, 1.4=ON DPI SW2.1=OFF,2.2=ON,2.3=OFF,2.4=OFF & same switch i tried DPI SW2.1=ON,2.2=ON,2.3=OFF,2.4=OFF DPI SW4.1=ON,4.2=OFF,4.3=OFF,4.4=OFF When I am opening programmer and hardware setup USB Blaster is coming and then I am performing auto detect and it is showing 3 options: 5CEBA7 5CEFA7 5CEFA7ES I choose 5CEFA7 and then change the files and choose configure and the start. But after 32% it is showing failed and i am getting the error message. Can anyone plese suggest do I set the DPI switch correctly or shall I miss anything.

Regarding the Footprint creation of AGFB022R24C2E2V
Hi For the AGFB022R24C2E2V The package drawing specifies a solder resist opening of Ø0.50 ± 0.02 mm, but it does not specify the recommended PCB pad diameter. Could you please provide the recommended PCB land pattern, including the copper pad diameter and whether the pads should be solder mask defined (SMD) or non-solder mask defined (NSMD)? Addition please provide the Allegro footprint for AGFB022R24C2E2V
