Honored ContributorHello everyone,
I would like to ask question about hardware with I use for JTAG usb controller.because i use jetlink usb controller and quartus didnt find this hardaware/and thaths why i want ask you.I should use only altera usb blaster or i can use other different controllers ?
Honored ContributorI have used an Altera USB Blaster and a Terasic USB Blaster. The latter is available for a fraction of the price of the Altera one but looks identical and identifies itself as a USB-Blaster. Terasic develop many development cards for Altera so are very familiar with the protocols etc used. I wouldn't know about other JTAG USB controllers though.
Honored ContributorJetlink and similar have too much latency. You need to use a USB cable directly connected to your computer. I've only heard of Altera and Terasic USB blasters working correctly with Quartus programmer etc.
