    Hi


    Please find my response below:

    1. can be add somehow in the old Quartus SW (13.0.1) to be able to

    program the Cyclone 10 FPGA? if yes how?

    No

    I think this a good idea. The reason is blaster 2 and blaster 1 have different driver and they are not the same.


    Regards,

    Bruce
