intelFPGA Monitor Program not connecting [DE1-SoC]

[Altera_Forum]

I'm following the tutorial on the intelFPGA monitor program for the DE1-SoC Arm 9 core, and I'm using the sample DE1-SoC Computer program with sample program JTAG Uart demonstration. However, the board will not connect using semihosting, or any other program for that matter.  

Error message reads Could not query JTAG Instance IDs.Please ensure the FPGA has been configured using the correct .sof file.   It's the correct .sof file, even tried manually connecting using the GUI button to connect, still of no avail.  I tried the NIOS II program and everything runs fine. Why can it not communicate?   It's set to the cpu0- core and not the one that powers up in reset.

I got the exactly same error, could not solve it after trying everything I can think of.  

Did you make it work eventually?

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 I am stuck with the same issue now.  Were you able to solve this?

[JJian21]

Hi,

I have the same issue, did you fix this problem?

Btw, I cannot find the .sof file in my testing folder, where could you find it?

[jster]

This worked...
