That’s it! The driver is installed and you can now program the FPGA board.Scan performed on, Computer: IBM 8315B1U - Windows 7 64 bit Quartus II – Programmer window with USB blaster selected In the Programmer window you should now see the USB blaster selected as a programmer. Quatus II – Programmer – Hardware setup windowĬlick Close. In the drop down menu choose USB blaster. Click on Hardware Setup:Ī new window will open. Tools -> Programmer Altera Pcie Driver LinuxĪ window will open.
To check that Quartus II can now use the driver, open up Quartus II and go to: Altera Drivers When the driver installs you should see it installed in the Device Manager: It’s in the Quartus II installation folder.Īfter the Window successfully finds the driver you should be prompted with the window:Ĭlick on Install. In the next window, locate the driver and click Next.Įnter/browse for the location of the USB blaster driver. On the new window that opens choose Browse my computer for driver software.
Plug in the device, fire up Device Manager, locate the USB-blaster device and click on Update Driver Software.
Having all that in mind, now press the Restart now button from the screenshot above.Īfter restart try to install the USB blaster driver. Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Startup Settings -> RestartĪfter restarting you will be prompted with another window that will provide you some other options. After you click on the button you will be prompted with a window providing you with a few options. Before you click on it save whatever stuff you need to save since the restart is (almost) immediate. Go to Recovery and under Advanced startup locate Restart now. You should see the following window (click on the picture to enlarge)Īdvanced startup options – Recovery – Advanced startup Press Windows key and type in “Change advanced startup options”, and enter the options. This is due to the fact that Windows 8 doesn’t allow you to install unsigned drivers by default so you need to disable this security option. Now, if you follow the instruction from Altera USB blaster install you probably get to step 8 of the instructions after which you are not prompted with a window mentioned on step 9. The main product lines from Altera were the Stratix, mid-range Arria, and lower-cost Cyclone series system on a chip FPGAs, the MAX series complex programmable logic device and non-volatile FPGAs, Intel Quartus Prime design. Altera Corporation was a manufacturer of programmable logic devices (PLDs) headquartered in San Jose, California.On December 28, 2015, the company was acquired by Intel.
USB Blaster Download Cable is designed for ALTERA FPGA, CPLD, Active Serial Configuration Devices and Enhanced Configuration Devices, USB 2.0 connection to the PC and JTAG, AS, PS to the target device. So it must have been programmed with.something. The CPU's 8MHz crystal is oscillating well, and as mentioned it is recognized by the Altera driver. I've yet to see the ACTive LED not lit when there's power. Further, when it receives USB power.both. On my system it is located in:Īltera MAX10 10M50 Rev C Development Kit Linux Setup (ACDS version 15.1) Altera MAX10 10M50 Rev C Development Kit Linux Setup (ACDS version 15.1) Altera MAX10 10M50 Rev C Development Kit Linux Setup (ACDS version 15.0) Altera MAX10 10M50 Rev C Development Kit Linux Setup (ACDS version 15.0) Arrow SoCKit User Manual - November 2019 Edition. You probably already have it if you installed Quartus II, it comes with the installation.
I lost a significant amount of time to make the driver work on Windows 8.1 so to speed things up for you, here is what you do.įirst, you need to obtain the driver to be installed. As far as I know there is no problem in installing the driver on Windows 7 but if you are using Windows 8 or 8.1 then you probably ran into the problem of Windows not allowing you to install unsigned drivers. I started playing around with FPGA development using the Terasic DE0 development board recently and the first problem I encountered was the installation of the USB blaster driver.
