Hi, I new to the Altera JTAG system. My company has restored an old project, but the documentation and the programing are missing. I´m trying to speed up the project by reading some prototypes that the company created before with a USB Blaster. I downloaded the quartus software but I can no read the program inside the MAX 3000 element. Is there any guide or user manual about the software that I could use? the prototypes were supose to be sent to another company so I believe that thei could be protected, how can I know if they are protected?
