    Hi,

    unfortunately the original question was never answered by an Intel representative.
    I'm also interested in the answer.

    Best regards,
    Frank

    Additional question, if we want to use OpenOCD, how about the license status of USBBlaster 2 driver firmware, specifically quartus/linux64/blaster_6810.hex?
