15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Did they suggest to "abuse" an existing development kit MAX II factory image or presented another idea where to get the undisclosed USB Blaster design? --- Quote End --- they refered me to ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/devkit/maxii_developmentkit-v1.1.0_cd.zip there is an example there of a USB bridge. I admit I didn't look into it too much because it wasn't what I needed. --- Quote Start --- It uses FT2232D on recent revisions. It may be the case, that the driver can work with High Speed FT2232H as well, but it surely won't support higher JTAG clock speeds than 6 MHz without being rewritten, so there's probably no benefit, just an increased current consumption. --- Quote End --- I can suffer a slower speed, and even current consumption, but if I'm not mistaken version H is the only one recommended for new designs. maybe I will try to get the Bemicro driver. right now I only have an evaluation board for the FT2232H which I can wire to a JTAG connector of one of my boards (the good old product which had room for a connector)
