Occasional ContributorFPGA Programming Via USB instead of Programming Pod
Hello, I see that Digilent has a JTAG-SMT-NC module that allows the Xilinx tools to program the FPGA over USB with any FPGA programming pod. Does anyone know if there is such a chip that supports the...
Hi,
you can use any JTAG adapter you want, or build your own, provided you don't use SignalTap or time-limited components -- these two features still require the Altera USB Blaster.
For any other design, convert your file to SVF format, that lists the exact sequence of JTAG signals to initialize the FPGA in a readable format that can be interpreted e.g. by OpenOCD.

Super ContributorHi,
Sorry to tell you that we do not have that chip. We do not have USB Blaster chip embedded on board.
