Which USB Blaster for Altera Max 10 ?

(1/5) > >>

Martin72:
Hi,

absolutely no plan of it, until now I only knew lattice PLDs and their programming via the known usb adapter.
I would like to read or program an Altera Max 10 FPGA via the JTAG interface.
I had received the tip to look for JTAG Blaster, but there are many variants, from super cheap (10€) to several hundred € expensive.
Which one would be suitable ?
And: I already have a TL886 II+ programmer and a seeger J-Link mini EDU, could they do it ?

Should work, though I don't have the device and Altera is not specified in the supported devices list.

Even an Arduino can do JTAG (as long as you take care of the voltage levels for less than 5V JTAG targets).  This is a good brief about JTAG:  https://www.fpga4fun.com/JTAG.html, and this is one example of JTAG with Arduino, blog and code:

I got one like this 10 years ago "low cost clone" and it works fine with Quartus II with MAX10 and other Altera / Intel FPGA's

The cheap $10 ones work fine :-+

Thank you guys, today I´ve bought one from amazon, will report then.. :-+
