New ContributorUSB Blaster I is working but USB blaster II NOT working? (important)
Hi,
MAX10M08SAU169 can be programmed using USB Blaster II without changing the frequency. Could you please check the details,
1. First close the programmer & update the drivers for USB Blaster II using "1.5. Installing the Intel FPGA Download Cable II Driver on Windows 7/8 Systems" below user guide,

2. Check 10 pin header connection : 1.4. Installing the Intel FPGA Download Cable II for Configuration or Programming
3. Refer 1.8. Setting Up the Intel FPGA Download Cable II Hardware with the Quartus Prime Software from manual
4. Eventually Auto Detect -> Change File->"Start" 5.you can refer the 2.8. Changing the TCK Frequency
Regards,
Vicky
Occasional ContributorHi,
according to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd03112009_879.html the USB Blaster operates at 6MHz, while the USB-Blaster II operates at 24MHz (see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd06242013_922.html). In the 2nd link there is also the hint, howto reduce the frequency :-)
Kind regards, Carlhermann
ocanI will try your idea now, so results will share with you.
Thank you very much...
