12 years agoI see now that the USB blaster appears to be much, almost an order of magnitude, faster than the Ethernet blaster, or the direct USB connection to the NEEK board. This was against a different board than the NEEK, but the above posted delays for the Ethernet blaster are against the same board as the results below. Thats odd. Why would the Ethernet blaster be ten times slower than the USB blaster. This is odd considering that the speeds observed are much lower than full throughput on either link type (so presumably the Ethernet blaster is the limiting factor).
