@marqs That appears to have worked!

@BoldFusion I did end up shelling out the cash for the Terasic USB Blaster that was mentioned on the wiki.

Thanks @Morpheus_79 for the info on other blasters though!

@marqs Here you go

@marqs Just flashed 0.77 via the USB Blaster using the .jic file and the OSSC Pro would not boot. It appears to have successfully flashed according to the log in Quartus Programmer.

Got the USB Blaster this morning so I gave it a go. I got firmware version 0.76 working, but 0.77 will not work.

Here’s the process I tried:

• Disconnected everything from the OSSC Pro except for power and the USB Blaster (all AV inputs disconnected from the device, removed the Legacy AV expansion board)
• Flashed version 0.70 to the OSSC Pro using the .jic file from GitHub. This appears to have been successful. The unit booted up and was running with 0.70.
• Attempted to update to version 0.77 via the mciroSD card. This was, again, not successful. Same thing as before. Would never complete the update, and all LEDs and the display were off/blank.
• Flashed version 0.70 once again using the USB Blaster.
• Successfully updated to 0.76 using the microSD card.
• Successfully loaded my saved profile from the microSD card.
• Reconnected AV inputs and the Legacy AV Expansion Board.
• Everything appears to be working now as it was before I originally tried to update to 0.77 last week.

So, it appears 0.76 works but 0.77 doesn’t.

I had recently bought the Legacy AV expansion board so I needed to at least update to 0.75, but when I saw that 0.77 was available I decided to try that. The expansion board was installed while attempting to update. I also had no active input when updating.

Possibly worth noting that I also had the legacy AV expansion board plugged in when it failed while attempting to update from 0.76 to 0.77.

EDIT: I also had the legacy AV expansion board plugged in when I successfully updated from 0.75 to 0.76.

@JAMIEvx @BoldFusion When have you bought the board and do you remember which fw version was installed when you initiated the update? Did you start the update from test pattern or an active input? We may need to get one of these failing boards for return analysis and try to replicate the failure.

@marqs I believe it originally had 0.75 on it when I received it. I had successfully upgraded it to 0.76 shortly after receiving it. When it failed I was trying to upgrade from 0.76 to 0.77. There was no input active when I attempted to update to 0.77.

I’ve ordered a USB blaster and I’ll try reflashing the firmware via the JTAG port. If that fails I’ll send off an e-mail. Thanks!
