Honored ContributorUSB blaster Altera vs Terasic version
Hi all,
I came across two of this items, physically both looks about the same but when i looking this deeply in term fo support level, there is some differences as come from different company. So any one are using Terasic blaster instead of Altera one? as look like Terasic one looks cheaper.. Best from FAN.20 Replies
Altera_Forumi say just purchase the Altera build USB blaster, there fore there will be no excuse for Altera site to reject your request to support your issue when come to some complex debugging issue pairing with other vendor USB blaster.

Terasic blasters have worked just fine for me in the past...

My Terasic Blaster works OK.

I am using USB blaster from Altera so that I could get them to support.

It would be easier for them to debug if you are using their blasters. You can also go to their Field Application Engineer if there is any issue with your purchased USB Blaster. Anyone can comment on the support level of Terasic blaster?

how do we usually get technical support from terasic? through e-mail?
- Altera_Forum
Can we still fail issue to Altera for non Altera built board?
- Altera_Forum
you can.... but like our friend vinhael mentioned, easier for debug with own built tool.

Altera dont really care whether you're using a $50 programmer or $150 if you're going to buy $10000s of chips!
