Honored ContributorHello guys ;
I have questions, I want to ask u . I can use MAX 10 FPGA and want to program JTAG via USB blaster. Can I use USB Blaster II or USB Blaster RCN ?? What is the difference between USB-Blaster and USB-Blaster II? My Computer's versiyon is Windows 8 and other is Windows 10. All of them , can I program blaster RCN or blaster II ? Thank u very much

Best Regards Vikas Jathar Intel Customer Support – Engineering (Under Contract to Intel)Honored ContributorProblems with USB Blaster and certain dev kits as well as custom designed boards have been around all the time. As far as I'm aware of, they are not related to OS or software but to signal integrity issues, e.g. ringing JTAG clock that can occur under certain trace impedance conditions. I was always able to handle it by adding quite a bit of capacitance between TCK and GND near the FPGA.
Driver installation problems and incompatibility with other FTDI devices plugged into the same computer are another endless story with classical USB Blaster.Honored ContributorThank u very much for answer my question :)
