I don't know why the JTAG stoped working ... I'm using Microtronix's Cyclone EP1C20. 

When I try to upload to the board, I got these messages : 

 

- inside Nios SDK 5.0.1 Build: 86, uploading the kernel :

I have tryed to auto-detect the hardware in the Quartus II Programmer, and it say to me : 

Unable to scan device chain. Can't scan JTAG chain. 

 

I dont remember where these showed up too: 

Error: Can't access JTAG chain 

Error: Operation failed 

 

I dont know what to do. I have tryed to set the jumpers back to the default, as is in Cyclone Data Sheet. Everything seems normal. I can not upload the Kitchen_sink core, because the erros of JTAG http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif , so I can&#39;t test it. 

 

Any suggestions ?? 

 

Regards. 

Arthur.
