CPLD Starter questions
ebclr:
Most clones programers works since it's no that high tech what is inside the programmer, The rel ones ( very expensive ) have more protection, but all can program the device without a problem even the cheapest one can do that. I have a real one and clone one Xilinx programmer, and they do the same thing without any difference

You can, although having the separate programmer is handy because you can use it with multiple boards. CPLD and FPGA use exactly the same programming hardware. The Altera ones (clone) are ridiculously cheap, I dunno why they're so much cheaper and simpler than the Xilinx equivalent, also clones.

I have both and they work fine.
