Is there a specific driver for the USB Blaster III?

Is there a specific Linux driver or firmware which is required for the USB Blaster III (ArrowAXE5000)? It does not get detected when I run jtagconfig? # dmesg |grep 'USB Blaster III' -A1 [9415753...

Please let me know the plans to support Onboard USB III in Quartus Standard and Lite.

Hi,
presently, existing development boards with onboard UB3 require Quartus Pro, e.g. said Agilex 5 board AXE5000. They are supported by Quartus 25.1 Pro. Expect that upcomming Quartus 25.1 Std will contain same UB3 driver. For the time being, you can install Quartus 25.1 Pro standalone programmer and use its jtagserver with your Quartus lite or std Version to enable UB3 support, e.g. to support homemade FT4232 programmer solutions.

Regards
Frank
