Hobby Components Ltd Altera FPGA/CPLD USB Programmer (USB Blaster Compatible)

Q: Hello. I would like to confirm that this device is suitable for a Cyclone III Active Serial programming.

Yes it works well but is not as fast as the Altera part - it is, however, very good value for money !

Q: Hello. i would like to confirm that this device is suitable for 5m40zm64c5n (a cyclone v cpld chip) jtag programming.

If the original usb blaster supports it, this should as seems 100% compatible.

Q: Does this device work with icestorm?

I doubt it. Icestorm is for Lattice devices. Byteblaster works with Altera devices and proprietary tools (Quartus).

Works in Quartus Programmer

I've used this to program MAX II CPLDs made by Intel. Using the Quartus programmer tool, it works fine. Maybe a bit slower than the £300 alternative but I'm happy with it.

Works just as well as the official £200 usb blaster.

I've used these on a variety of altera devices and flash. It even worked in JTAG mode when I was debugging a design with signal tap.

Did not work for me.

The supplied cable was an insanely tight fit on both the board and the USB device.Apart from the fear I was going to destroy the connector, it also could not establish a connection past the blaster to the board, so although it is inexpensive it also loses points, for not working at all.

Okay but...

Okay, but cheap and poorly manufactured ribbon cable could ruin your day. 3 out of the 10 ribbon cables failed.
