Need guidance on Debugger Selections Criteria

Question

I am looking for a USB Blaster that is compatible with Altera MAX CPLDs and would appreciate some guidance on which one to choose. Specifically, I am considering:

Terasic USB Blaster
Wave Share USB Blaster (Rewritten version)

Note: I have encountered issues with the cheaper version of the USB Blaster, as it never worked properly.

Hello,

Terasic is Altera partner. They provide good USB Blaster cables.

You need to mention which MAX device you want to use.

MAX II? MAX V? - these are older devices, you can use USB Blaster 1 programming cable.

MAX10? - this is current device. you can use USB Blaster 1 or USB Blaster II programming cable.
