I am having a doubt,if the altera cpld is jtag compatible,can i use
xilinx parallel IV cable to programme altera device using quartus II
tool?

This message indicates that the byte blaster hardware is unable
to determine the devices in your chain. The chain is a loop
going from the byte-blaster to TDI of the first device,
through that device to its TDO to TDI of the next device ...
finally back to the byte-blaster from the last TDO. Usually
the message means there is a mis-connection somewhere
or a device that is missing power. The mis-connection
may also be in one of the bused signals, TMS, TCK.
I'm not familiar with the byte blaster as I generally work
with Xilinx or Lattice, but there could also be an issue
of power getting to the byte-blaster itself or an issue
with its connection to your computer. The error
message is not very specific.

I am using max 7000s series cpld.i am using altera byte blaster cable.
i am getting error as "unable to scan device chain .cann't scan jtag
chain".
what is meaning of this error?
what i need to do,to programme CPLD
