    Hi AnttiLukats,


    Thank you for your patience, and I sincerely apologize for not addressing your question directly in my earlier reply.

    Regarding your inquiry about the meaning of the RGB LED colors on the on-board USB Blaster III, please find the detailed information below:

    • Off: No power / not connected / suspend mode
    • Blue: Connected, not in use
    • Green: Connected, an application is using JTAG, no traffic
    • Green flickering: Connected, data is moving through the JTAG interface
    • Purple flashing: Identify function has been triggered on this cable


    If you have further questions or need additional clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help and will ensure your concerns are addressed promptly.


    Thank you again for bringing this up, and I appreciate your understanding.


    Best regards,

    Fakhrul

This is now really weird. I tried the same chaning PID 6011 but no luck, UB3 is NOT RECOGNIZED. I tried some more playing around with the string descriptions but no luck, the adapter is not recognized. Bummer! Using Prime Pro 24.2 version. You must be somewhat lucky!
