Hi,

On a board here I always load an EPCS16 without errors,
and the FPGA (cyclone III) works as expected.

But Quartus II it does not verify the EPCS16 it reports
operation failed. However yesterday I had it verifying
ok for more than 2 hours and today if fails again to verify.

All other operations seem to work fine, erasing, examining,
blank check etc.

Is it a defective chip or anyone else has seen this behavior ?

Luis C.

p.s. Quartus II 8.1 / AS w/USB Blaster.

Try with Jtag and indirect EPCS programming mode.
