Introduction

The main function of the Terasic USB Blaster Download Cable (UBT) is to allow users to download configuration data to the system during prototype development, or to program data into the system during production. The UBT connects the Host and the FPGA on the user's board through the USB Port and 10-Pin cable. At the same time, it can support several target board voltage standards, allowing UBT to be widely used in various FPGA boards.

Supported Devices and Host System

The Intel FPGA , Serial configuration device and host systems that UBT supported are list in Table 1-1, Table 1-2 and Table 1-3

Using the Intel FPGA Download Cable

To start using the Intel FPGA Download Cable, user need to install the drivers on your system and set up the hardware in the Intel Quartus® Prime software.

To program or configure the device, connect the host system to the device board using the Terasic Download Cable and initiate the programming or configuration using the Intel Quartus Prime Programmer. You can also use the cable with the Intel Quartus Prime Signal Tap Logic Analyzer for logic analysis.
