Quartus 21.1 and Blaster 1

[Bop]

Hello All,

At the Moment I`m working with "Quartus 21.1 and Blaster 1", when starting download of the *.pof file, with selected Terasic Blaster 1 USB after 4% an error appears. 

With the same cabeling and hardware, Quartus 18.0 works for me?

Hi,

-Have you also try with Quartus v23.1? Does it work?

-What type of Quartus did you used? Standard?

-What is the device used?

-Can you try to compile a simple design and download a pof file using Quartus 21.0? Does it work?

Regards,

Aiman

Hi Aiman, 

Thanks for responding that fast. 

I ll try the 23.1. 

I use Quartus (Quartus Prime 21.1) Lite Edition.

The final device is a Motor Controller. 

U will here from me.

Hi  Aiman, 

unfortunately 23.1 Lite has the same issue with the Blaster 1. Blaster 2 is ordered for further Tests.

I would compare programmer options of both Quartus installations. Under circumstances it is necessary to disable the on-chip configuration controller during programming.
Which is the involved device, is it MAX10?

[Bop]

Hi, thanks I'll test that.

Yes, it's about 10M02SCE144.

Hi Aiman, 

Quartus 18.0 and Quartus 23.1 have the same settings. 

The "Enable real-chip configuration controller" was allready disabled. 

Do you have further suggestions?

Hi Patrick,

While looking for the root cause of your problem, I found below KDB that highlight the same error:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000092639.html

We suggest you to use Quartus 19.1 and below for now. Please refer to KDB above.

Aiman

Hi Aiman, 

Thanks for that. This solution works for me with the Blaster 1 and Blaster 2.
