EThernet Blaster protocol

Hi, I'm looking for Ethernet blaster protocol. Could you help me ? I would like to have debug interface from Quartus/Nios IDE to remote HW. Is there an any chance to find such description ...

I'm not familiar with the Ethernet Blaster, but we do know that the USB Blaster protocol is undocumented. Actually most Altera JTAG/Debug related PC protocols are undocumented as well.

So the answer is that I don't really know, but I would expect the Ethernet Blaster protocol to be undocumented.

Note that you are not telling us exactly why you need the protocol information. It is not needed in most scenarios. Remote hardware shouldn't be a big problem with standard Altera tools.
