Error : Can't configure device - stratixIII development board

Good morning, 

 

I am currently trying to configure my Altera stratixIII development board with my ".sof" file that containes my SoC design. 

I am currently using the NIOSII command shell with the command "nios2-configure-sof". 

 

What I want is to configure the device using the JTAG protocol and the USB-Blaster programming cable. 

I changed the switch SW1 so that to set FPGA_BYPASS and MAX_ENABLE to '1'. 

 

Unfortunately, I am unable to configure the device and I get the following message: 

"Error: Can't configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x021020DD for device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0x121020DD."  

 

It seems that there is a problem with the JTAG ID but only one bit is different. Do you think that it is a problem with one of the connections I made ? 

 

Do you have an idea to solve this problem ? 

 

Many thanks, 

 

Alexis

It looks like you have selected the wrong device in Quartus. 

 

0x121020DD is the code for a EP3SL150, but you have compiled for a EP3SL150ES.

Actually, I do not select the device since it is already defined in the "sof file". 

 

The device which is selected is: EP3SL150F1152 

 

What I do not understand is the fact that it works correctly when I use the same sof file on my colleague's computer.
