Hi, I think 2 usb Blaster can be plugged in the same PC. There are distinguished somewhere (In Nios II command line, I could select which USB Blaster I want to use but i didn't try)

but because of usb, you are NOT sure that Windows points to the same USB Blaster.

It may be difficult to check and assign USB Blaster to the good board.

Other guys talked about multiple USB Blasters in the Altera forum.

Good luck !
