Can you try posting your questions again. Your posts are working now. --- Quote Start --- This is my clone blaster: http://www.sainsmart.com/home-page-view/usb-blaster-download-cable-for-fpga-development-board.html --- Quote End --- Ah, I've seen this one on eBay. I thought this would have been a Cypress FX2 clone. Can you open up the case and look inside? The fact that it calls itself USB-Blaster-ARM makes me wonder what is inside :) If you can recompile the software for the clone and fix up the USB info so that it looks like the ones I and Daixiwen have posted, then it should work. If it does not, then there is a problem with the USB-Blaster protocol handler in the clone ... I can send you some code that performs a JTAG loopback using the libftd2xx or libftdi code and you can probably figure out what is wrong. If that USB-Blaster does have an ARM microcontroller in it, and you can get the source code, I might have to buy one :) Cheers, Dave
