Honored ContributorSending data from Cyclone V FPGA to PC through USB Blaster
Hi All, I have a cyclone V Soc Development kit which has an on board USB blaster II comprising of MAX II and Cypress USB driver CY7C68013A. I would like to transmit data through the USB dri...

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- I intend to communicate through the dedicated USB lines in the MAX II and not the JTAG lines. Is there any code for configuring from the host(PC) in order to facilitate the USB data transmission from PC to FPGA and vice versa, by configuring the MAX II(USB BLaster II) or should the MAX II firmware be modified. --- Quote End --- I'd follow Wombat's advice on this one :) The USB-Blaster II is a weird beast; Altera have used a Cypress PHY that could have implemented both the JTAG interface and the parallel interface (FPGA4U do it that way, http://fpga4u.epfl.ch/wiki/fx2), there is no need for the MAX II. Good luck with your testing. Feel free to write up some notes and post them to the wiki to help others. Cheers, Dave
