Honored ContributorHi Michele,
For others reading this thread. It appears that the "Terasic DE1" board http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?no=83 is also sold as the "Altera Cyclone II Starter Kit" http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyc2-2c20n.html According to the schematic: http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/documents/cy2_fpga_starter_board_schematic.pdf The board contains a USB-Blaster, so you can simply install the drivers located in the directory you referred to. I have had success using VirtualBox with Windows XP hosts and Linux hosts, but had trouble with Windows 7 (it would not release the USB-Blaster to the VM). I have not tried with a MAC, but if it allows the VM to capture the USB-Blaster interface, it should work fine. What happened that you could not install the Windows driver for the USB-Blaster? (Which version of Windows is in the VM?) Cheers, Dave
