rgiguere
rgiguere over 6 years ago

OK so im just getting into FPGA and PLCD  and i ordered a Altera(now intel) MAXII FPGA it came with a usb blaster ribbon cable and usb download cable the problem Im having is it seems the drivers for the usb blaster dont seem to work with windows 10 it keeps saying there is a problem with the driver a bad hash which seems to be a problem with the digital signature the problem is i cant find a single usb blaster driver for the altera that works with winows 10 does anyone have any ideas? By the way Intel tech support was no help they have absolutely no idea and from what I researched every one on windows 10 has the same problem.

    I can confirm that it was necessary to disable signed driver enforcement when I installed on Windows 10. It did work after that.

    It may well be possible that no signed drivers exist for Windows 10. You may be able to get around it by disabling signed driver enforcement - do a search for this and you will find a few hints on how to do it, but even then the drivers may not install.

     

    Just like some of the older Xilinx FPGA boards, you may find that you have to use a machine or a virtual machine running Windows 7 to be able to install and run the development tools and necessary drivers.
