Aside from Altera configurators (like USB blaster II), what are the suggested programmer for production?

I have been working with two Cyclone IV devices. I have the availability of a JLink Segger but it does not support the mentioned FPGA family.

    Hi Jon,

    I'm really pleased for your response time.

    I'm used to have specific download cables for production, not using R&D-like cables for this task. Are there also external download cables you could suggest me?

    Thanks

      Hi Glrip,

      I usually used Intel FPGA Download Cable II for my project/design. However, it's depend on your device.

      For 10 series (max 10, cyclone 10 etc2) and above, I recommend you to use Intel FPGA Download Cable II

      For legacy device, Intel FPGA Download Cable I should be enough for you (Cyclone IV).

      Thanks.
