[hpsdr] Bricked my Angelia: Help installing Bootloader using USB Blaster cable

Fri Aug 22 09:41:09 PDT 2014

Attempted to upgrade the firmware in my 100D using HPSDRProgrammer_V2_nopcap 2.0.   Board was intially discovered but when I attempted to write 4.1 rbf,  all operations stopped.   Now it won't boot.  (J17 jumper on or off, doesn't help)

So I hooked up my Canton Electronics "Altera USBBlaster Rev C) and fired off the Altera Quartus Programmer v12 build 177 11/7/2012 which responded after I clicked Start as follows:

Info (209060): Started Programmer operation at Fri Aug 22 15:25:23 2014
Info (209018): Device 1 silicon ID is 0x18
Info (209044): Erasing ASP configuration device(s)
Info (209024): Programming device 1
Info (209018): Device 1 silicon ID is 0x18
Info (209011): Successfully performed operation(s)
Info (209061): Ended Programmer operation at Fri Aug 22 15:26:15 2014

which looked OK but no boot!    Second from left front panel red led glows constantly but dim.

Somewhere I noticed (post by Franz Hegener) that I should   have selected EPC 128?   My device (in the Quartus II 32 bit Programmer window shows Device=EPCS16 as read from Quartus-II Programmer window and also shown in the document "Quartus-II Programmer and Byteblaster"  by N9VV and KCXG v2.3 dated 04/23/13.   Is this my error?

Any ideas to try next??

Thanks,
Larry  W0AY

Note for record:
1. Version 12 of the Quartus II Programmer matches the "Quartus-II Programmer and Byteblaster" instructions (noted above)  but the current version V12 does not.   Obtain V12 here: https://www.altera.com/download/sw/dnl-sw-index.jsp#

2. Win7 refused to load the drivers provided by Altera in V14.   I used the USB Blaster drivers by Altera dated 2/17/2009  version 2.4.16.0
