While it is blank screening, the keyboard showed it isn't connected to the wireless dongle. So I wasn't able to see if I could get a console. Well this sucks, now I gotta return it. Probably through a "not as described" route since seller isn't taking returns. It's advertised as working. This is what I get trying to save a few bucks.

If I select add file, it adds the "U23" variant chip in the middle, and I have to delete the original 5CSEBA6 to allow programming to be successful. But still nothing on monitor after power cycling.

Try this sof file that came with DE10-Nano CD (you'll have to download it from their website)... Send it over to the DE10-Nano with no SD card plugged in. If it works, you should see a simple 4 color pattern on the screen. Thank you for the sof file! I had a hard time even finding one. This should prove whether the board is bad or not I hope. Hope...

so downloaded the Intel Quartus suite of software and drivers etc and installed everything. Once I plugged in the USB-Blaster II (looks like regular 'ol mini USB to me) the row of LEDs below RJ45 all started to blink together in seemingly random interval. I then managed to find a .sof file from someone's project online, used the Quartus software to...

Ok, I left it as 0, "on" for 6th position. Now trying to figure out how to "try to download the DE10_Nano_Default.sof into the FPGA to see if the board can run properly or not".

Please set the MSEL[4:0] to 10010, and try to download the DE10_Nano_Default.sof into the FPGA to see if the board can run properly or not. This is interesting, I see they are suggesting 10010 for testing on the dip swtich. I just went over the Getting Started Guide, this is the setting for AS Mode. But for Linux Xfce, they suggest 01010, and MiST...

Ok, I tried the manual install several times on 2 different uSD cards. Used the utility to create the initial uSD, copied the latest release, menu and a NES core without any games. On first boot, with or without USB hub attached, it would do the exact same thing Mr. Fusion method does on first reboot. 1 led near RJ45. Monitor never even attempts to...

Thank you both for your replies. I just did a fresh install on a 64GB uSD card on a bare-boned DE10-nano (except for HDMI to TV of course) and it worked so that ruled out maybe a bad fusion-2.2 build. At a minimum, you should of had two green leds by the RJ45 connector slowly blinking in an alternating pattern. As for the 8GB card you got with the ...

No luck. Without hub starting from a fresh install. Did the same thing, installs for 2 min, restarts to black screen.

No worries, I wrote a novel. I have tried booting up without the hub after install or just straight from a fresh image with just SD and power. I can try it a few more times with hub during install, then remove on boot, or just sd from beginning to see.

Thanks for the reply, but I did check them as mentioned in my post. I even flipped them back and forth a few times. Since then, I've tried 4 more different uSD cards because I read in other posts that it might be picky, but no luck still. I also tried using different PC to format then write the image using both balenaEtcher and Win32 writer, same r...

Forgot to mention, based on pictures online, the "DE10-Nano" printing on my board is near the HDMI connector with "for Intel FPGA University Program". While retail boards have "DE10-Nano" printed near the RJ45.

Hi, I'm completely new to FPGA and MiSTer. Picked up an used De10-nano for MiSTer from ebay, no other accessories such as IO board, USB hub etc. The seller said it's "De10-nano fpga university program kit". Hopefully this isn't a special hardware that is different than normal retail version. It came with an 8GB uSD card that booted up fin...
