Can't Recognize USB Blaster II - Quartus 13 Programmer

1,032 Views

Sometimes when I use the Programmer on the Quartus II v13, it does not recognize the USB Blaster II cable. It just states No Hardware. When I go to the pull-down menu, the USB Blaster II cable is not on the list. However, the Window software recognize the cable. I read there were problems in version 11. Are there problems in v13.? Sometimes rebooting work. Others times pulling the cable out of the USB port and putting it back in helps. I need it to be consistent because when I try to program a part, It comes back as Device Not Found. Even when the Programmer does recognize the Blaster, it still say Device Not Found. When it doesn't work, I don't know if it is the hardware or the software.
