    The blue base is a plastic platform made by Propellerpwered to support the Quickstart.

    I have several of those blue plastic platforms. They are very simple but also very useful!

    Thanks. Do you mean Jeff's Micromite site?

    I can see nothing of those platforms on that site, only the experimenters board and the uMite.

    Yes, that would be the place.

    He may not have them anymore, they were quite popular. It seems if you have one, you probably have several. :0)

    From the picture that looks like a simple laser cut acrylic part. My wife sells laser cut wood and acrylic on Etsy. If anyone needs something like that, and have a drawing for it, I can set you up. I do custom stuff for her crafting customers all the time.

    So I've finally gotten around to playing with my BeMicro CV again and I'm having no luck with it. I am wondering if my board is fault. Wondering if anybody else is running into the problem I'm having.

    I am using Ubuntu 14.04, which immediately led to USB device permissions issues, and I resolved them by adding some new udev rules based on instructions here: http://www.fpga-dev.com/altera-usb-blaster-with-ubuntu/

    However when I run jtagd & jtagconfig, no matter as what user, it pauses for a long time and then fails with

    "1) USB-Blaster [2-1.4.3]
    Unable to read device chain - Hardware not attached"

    When I start reading up on this message around the net it seems like people are blaming it on faulty or bad usbblaster hardware. This is not encouraging. I don't see any mention of it in regards to the BeMicro, or to Linux/Ubuntu use in particular.

    The BeMicro is plugged in, has power, and shows on my USB chain. jtagd seems to "know" about it, but jtagconfig fails as above, and when I actually try to program it I get errors like

    "Error (209037): JTAG Server can't access selected programming hardware"

    Very frustrating.

    So it looks like mine shipped with a missing jumper. My coworker bought the same board and his had similar problems until I fiddled with the jumper that was on his board but was missing on mine. His works, and when I borrow his jumper mine works. They're both programmed with the P1V core now :-)
