Hey folks
I have an Elektor FPGA project board (with an Altera EP1C12k and a EPCS4).
My board is working nicely, but I'm having an issue with Quartus, where I can't program the serial eeprom using the active serial mode.
Quartus objects to this on the grounds that "Current programming hardware does not support Active Serial Programming programming mode".
I set up the Quartus programming tool to upload the .pof file, and it got the right serial eeprom from the file. Everything goes just fine until I hit the "Start" button, when the above error pops up.
Any idea what gives? I've tried resetting the parallel port in the BIOS (Classic, ECP and Bidirectional modes). I've installed the ByteBlaster driver, and Quartus thinks I have a ByteBlasterMV, not a ByteBlasterII. Is this relevant?
I had exactly the same error with Quartus 5.1sp2 and 6.0.
