USB Blaster II firmware

Hi, I accidentally flashed my USB Blaster II. I couldn't find the firmware in order to reprogram it. Can someone give me the link to this firmware or attach it to this thread? Thank you

The USB-Blaster II firmware comes from Quartus.

What you have flashed is, I think, the EEPROM which contains information about the settings for the device.

If you can get another device of the same type then you can copy the setting information from one to the other, but this will give you the same serial number on both devices so you won't be able to plug them into the same machine at the same time

This only applies to cable USB-Blasters, on-board blasters work differently and you can't program these with the EZUSB tools
