Hi,
I am still trying to programme a EP1810LC, but a EP1810JC, looks to be a good substitute.
But I can not find a find suitable programmer, suggestions have been: PL-APU with a PLEJ1810 adapter. Cannot find any on eBay or elsewhere.
I am wondering if an Altera Blaster can programme the EP1810JC or is there a modern equivalent to to EP1810.

Hi Derek,
First off,
How are you planning on Programming this chip? Do you have the .SOF image file?
or a Schematic/VHDL/Verilog source code to synthesize ?
Also,
The ByteBlaster or USB-Blaster programmers are a JTAG interface based programmer.
These programmers can only Program components that support a JTAG Interface.
(4 or 5 interface pins on the CHIP to send/receive the Programming Data.)
The EP1810 chip does not support a JTAG Interface, so unfortunately you can not program it with a JTAG based Programmer.
Again, there are the DATA I/O Unisite Programmers on eBay that you can use to Program the PLCC-68 pin CPLDs.
But they do run around $200 or more.
Again, if you only need a few Chips programmed, I can perform this task for you if you want to mail me the Blanks
and provide the Image file.
Other than that, you will have to bite the Bullet and Purchase a Professional Universal programmer.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
-Gerry
