Contact Nallatech at http://www.nallatech.com/support-inquiry.html if you require information on how to connect the USB-Blaster / Breakout board / PCIE-385N board together.

You need to have the USB-Blaster cable connect to load a new design in flash ("aocl flash design.aocx").

You can program the FPGA via PCIe without the cable connected ("aocl program design.aocx" or with the appropriate API call within the host software).

More info on page 1-19 of the following doc: http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/opencl-sdk/aocl_programming_guide.pdf (version 2013.12.13)
