Altera Cyclone II Quartus II JTAG Programming Error

[CLoon1]

I'm trying to program a Cyclone II I bought here (https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00LEMKR92) using Quartus II 13.0sp1 on Arch Linux. I'm trying to program it with a very simple Verilog program with three inputs and two outputs and a few simple logic functions. I selected the proper model (EP2C5T144C8), assigned the pins to the inputs/outputs, compiled, and ran the programmer. I am using a JTAG USB blaster. When I run jtagconfig, I receive the following output

1) USB-Blaster [2-1.6]   020B10DD EP2C5

However, when I try to program the .sof file created by the compiler, I receive the following error.

Error (209015): Can't configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x020B10DD for device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0x000310D9.

If I run the programmer multiple times, I often get different values for the ID code that it found. Does anyone know what's wrong here?

Hi,

"I am using a JTAG USB blaster. When I run jtagconfig, I receive the following output"

Since 'jtagconfig' command working correctly then this issue may occur due to following reasons,

1. Check .sdc file name is same as project name or not, if available.
2. Check the below link for cyclone II device,

I have not replicated this issue but I hope this might help to you.
