jtagserver.exe goin' zombie...

Hello 

 

I am currently working on a Nios2 design on a Cyclone EP1C20 Dev Board with Quartus 9.1sp2 on 64-bit Window7 using a UsbBlaster programming interface. 

 

For some reason, my jtagserver occasionally stops responding and can’t be killed. Trying to kill jtagserver.exe from Task Manager has no effect – the jtagserver.exe process won’t die. 

 

Running jtagconfig.exe just says “Connecting To Server(s) [… ]” for a few seconds and then says “Error (Server error) when scanning hardware”. 

 

The only way I can get things working again is to reboot the computer. 

Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you 

Scott Wild

I don't know what caused it but I found using 10.0 seemed to solve the issue. I'm guessing the updated blaster driver is what fixed the problem.
