BeMicroSDK Quartus programmer can't see it

[Altera_Forum]

I can program my BeMicroSDK through the Bash shell however the programmer in Quartus (11.0) can no longer see the BeMicro SDK to program it.  

 It was working fine (Quartus programmer) until 20 minutes ago.   Why?

OK I felt a bit annoyed but problem solved.  

 Not sure what I did.

 i don't have a BeMicro SDK, but i would start by uninstalling it in the Device Manager, removing it, then plugging it back in and reinstalling the driver

Sorry pancake... I was getting exasperated .... It was probably frustration at my lack of progress with the project overall.... I edited my last post....  

 I fiddled with the JTAG Chain debugger and hey presto it suddenly started operating again so....  I could see the programmer through the bash script, which was odd.   Yeah and the tools are still a million times better than Codewarrior for any you who have 'been there'. :)

edited my post likewise, though i was curious if you had a better experience elsewhere 

 the tools can require some head scratching, but they are definitely good enough to ship a product. i think this forum does a pretty amazing job of support - but there are limits to how much we can address without being on the inside  anyhow glad you're back on track
