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

you can.... but like our friend vinhael mentioned, easier for debug with own built tool.

Can we still fail issue to Altera for non Altera built board?

how do we usually get technical support from terasic? through e-mail?
- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- i 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. --- Quote End --- Agree with Pororo. 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?
