![]() ![]() I really want to avoid debugging softcore CPU slowly like with Texas Instrument’s radar chips with real ARM and DSP, where it took each time 3 seconds to make 1 step in C code in theirs modified Eclipse and I’m willing to pay extra to avoid this but only if it’s justified by performance. ![]() Now, when I know the basics I need to ask additional questions (probably stupid ones) to help me make final decision what will be proper for me.īecause of price I’m deciding between Terasic Blaster and USB Blaster II, where USB Blaster II is more than 4 times more expensive. Thank You very much for answers or explanations. Here are links for the Blasters in Mouser E-shop.ġ) What is main practical difference between those programmers/debuggers like speed of configuration/debug speeds or limitations?Ģ) Why is USB Blaster I more expensive than newer USB Blaster II?ģ) Do I understand correctly that Terasic Blaster is clone of USB Blaster I? I read they share even the same USB ID which Altera provided to them legally in the past.Ĥ) What is compatibility of USB Blaters in newer Quartus software? It is also interesting that this Terasic Blaster clone has in datasheet on Mouser on page 11 same picture as USB Blaster I in datasheet on Mouser on page 12 with just some label cleared from programmer itself but not logo of ALTERA from illustrated PCB. I also found Terasic blaster, which seems to be clone of USB Blaster I officially supported by Altera. I was looking for JTAG programmers and I found out that I can use both USB Blaster I (PL-USB-BLASTER-RCN) and USB Blaster II (PL-USB2-BLASTER). ![]() MAX EPM2210 device used is largest LE variant, in BGA256 package.īoard shipped already pre-programmed with simple LED example:Īnother ALTERA MAX3128 and FTDI USB chip are used for onboard USB-Blaster implementation.Įxternal use of USB Blaster for JTAG programming is possible with simple soldering on 2.I'm totally new here and I'd like to start using Intel MAX 10 family of FPGAs. Here also brief photoset covering onboard peripherals and construction: MAX II Micro can be used as a USB Blaster, and programming mode supported depends on the configuration device of Altera board connected to MAX II Micro (Only JTAG programming mode is supported to configure MAX II Micro).ĬDROM for Terasic MMK – 3.5MB, contains schematics, datasheets, simple example and control panel app.
