Re: USB Blaster driver for Max+plus II
Hi FvM, Thank you for the information you provided about the USB-zu-Parallel-Umsetzer. I wrote to the email address link in the page of the materials associated, to Henrik, enquiring about how to get hold of this Cable, using my private email address, but I have not received any response. Would you be able to assist with this at all? Many thanks for your help Eagle_Savy3.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: USB Blaster driver for Max+plus II
Hi Gents, Thanks a million for helping me along with this. So, the advice from you would be to use this newly purchased Blaster with an old PC running WIN2K or WINXP the latest, or would there be another possibility? @FvM : reading through the materials you kindly attached the link to in your previous response about the USB2LPT Conversion, I did not see any of the Altera listed in amongst the "Chip Programmers" tested. Would this be something I can consider using? KR Savvy_Eagle515Views0likes0CommentsHow to setup and launch Simulation in Quartus Prime Pro 24.2
Hi All, Long time ago, I used to use MAX+PLUS II, and I have just come back to it and got comfortable again with the tool; but I now need to migrate to more modern tool : Quartus Prime. I have installed the "Quartus Prime Pro 24.2" and am running it on the 30-day evaluation license at the moment. Could anyone help me understand how I can simulate my design in this tool, please? I have compiled one of my designs that works in MAX+PLUS II version 10.23, but I am struggling to launch the simulation in Quartus Prime Pro 24.2; please, help. Kind regards Savvy Eagle.1KViews0likes4CommentsRe: USB Blaster driver for Max+plus II
Hi Gents/All, Thank you for helping me along in this project of mine, and it is sincerely appreciated. I can see the merit in every thought expressed in each of the responses received so far. I also have to add that I am running MAX+PLUS II version 10.2 on Windows 11, and it has compiled and simulated very well so far; the only issue left now is for me to configure the EPF81500AQC240-2 by using a ByteBlaster, and ultimately burn the Configuration data in the EEPROM (EPC1PC8, or EPC1441PC8, EPC1213PC8 or EPC1064PC8); and this is where the Parallel Port (LPT) issue has surfaced. As I understand all the response received thus far, the Programmer and the ByteBlaster will not work unless I return to an old machine running Windows 2K or XP the latest or earlier. Also, the MasterBlaster documentation kindly provided seems to refer to Quartus; would this apply to MAX+PLUS II version 10.2 as well? Please, kindly confirm if my understanding here is in line with your response. Gratefully appreciative. Savvy Eagle P.S. The USB to LPT adaptor arrived yesterday, and as some of you advised, it has not worked sadly!!! Thank you.4.2KViews0likes1CommentRe: USB Blaster driver for Max+plus II
Hi AK6DN, Thank you for your very helpful response. Yes, I am using MA+PLUS II 10.2. And you are right; I am looking for a ByteBlaster; and ramaging through my old stuff, I found a ByteBlaster I built about 25 years ago, I've I've ordered s "USB to Parallel Port Converter", and I hope it works. But I would still be looking for a Programmer in order to burn the EEPROM with; and I'd appreciate any help I can get. Many thanks V.4.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: USB Blaster driver for Max+plus II
Hi there, I am trying to programme my Altera FLEX81500AQC240-2 using a USB Blaster, but with no success so far. I am also looking to programme the EEPROM (EPC1PC8, EPC1213PC8, EPC1441PC8 or EPC1064PC8) to go with with the EPF81500AQC240-2 when I am done with verifying my VHDL Code. Could anyone, please, help me with the Drivers using MAX+PLUS II and where I can source the right Programmer Hardware? I have bought 1 USB Programmer and 2 USB Blasters so far and none of them has worked so far. Please, help ! Kind regards Savvy_Eagle4.4KViews0likes2Comments
