I just bought a USB-Blaster II from Digikey and I am trying to set it up in my Windows 11 computer with Quartus Prime 23.1std.

As soon as I plug it in, this message appears:

Same problem happens

How can I solve this problem?

 

Thank you

Good morning Tiwari.

 

I have tried all the options and none of them work.

 

If I point windows to the drivers folder tu update it, the following message appears:

It never shows up as USB Blaster II, always as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Also in Windows 10.

I have also tried on a Windows 7 PC and similar messages appeared. Unknown USB Device and not being able to manually install the downloaded driver

Is it possible that the device is damaged?

Thank you

Hi,


Is this the first time you try to connect the USB Blaster II?

Do you have another USB Blaster that you could try to connect?

Good morning.

 

The Blaster is brand-new.

I don't have another one to try.

 

Thank you

Hi,


It seems like the USB blaster got problems. Please contact Digikey so they can file RMA for the USB Blaster.

Good moorning.

The USB blaster was indeed malfunctioning. DigiKey sent a new one and worked correctly.

Thank you for your support
