Hi, 

I m using three Altera Cyclone IV FPGAs in a single JTAG chain(Two are EP4CE55F484 and one is EP4CE10F256).In that EP4CE10F256 is having a separate EPCS16 in AS Configuration and having Dip Switch to select the devices for JTAG Chain. 

 

Problem is,when i m setting first device in chain,Quartus® II software version 10.0 SP1 shows the error msg like, 

 

Error: JTAG chain problem detected 

Error: TDI connection to the first detected device EP3C55 might be shorted to GND 

Error: The TCK and TMS connections to the device before the first detected device EP3C55 might have a problem 

Info: Detected 1 device(s) 

Info: Device 1: EP3C55 

 

In JTAG Debugger also shows TDI is shrted to GND. 

 

if i m put all the devices in chain,same error appear but other to are detected well. 

 

The first device alone not programmed individually and in group. 

 

can any one Help me???
