Note that the driver files came with v7.2 is different from v12.0. Click to continue.ĩ- Open Quartus v12.0 and go to toold->programmer->hardware_setup and you will see USB_blaster.ġ0- Don't forget to turn off windows test mode.
#ALTERA QUARTUS II UPDATE#
See the steps here.ĥ- Open device manager and then power on the board (mine is DE0).Ħ- You will see that USB blaster is listed but it shown as other devices.ħ- Try to update the driver by navigating to C:\altera\72\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster and make sure you have checked "include subfolders".Ĩ- You will see unsigned warning. So, here are the procedures that worked for me:Ĥ- Enter Windows 10 test mode. But it doesn't show any warning even if you enter TEST mode of Windows 10.Īnother thing is that the driver came with Quartus v7.2 is a good one. The indication is that they are not signed files and windows should warn about that. Important thing to note is I found out that the driver files came with v12.0 (which I tried to use at that time) are not working with Windows 10.
However, Quartus has stopped supporting Cyclone III from v14.0 and we want to use windows 10. I still have a DE0 board which uses Cyclone III and no matter how old it is, it works perfectly. The DE2 board appears in my Quartus Programmer and I can download the logic to the board.Īlthough the thread is rather old, but this problem exists with some of Altera's product. I reinstalled and ran the program this time with admin privileges and antivirus turned off and then it worked. Why can't it work? From the command-line I can run a tool named jtagconfig that actually seems to find the board but this is from the command line: To select the working directory use the button to browse and select E:CP120intro. Select the File New Project Wizard a window like the following will appear. I reinstalled the drivers, reinstalled Quartus II different versions many times, reset the board, tried both the Quartus version from the CD and from the internet, I see many other people have the same problem with the same board, thank you Altera for making us lose valuable time wasting our time on faulty software. You should see a screen such as this: Creating a New project. What can be done? The instructions I have are available here.
