Why Choose This Over Official USB Blaster?

✔ Type-C USB – More durable than Micro-USB. ✔ Wider Voltage Range – Supports 1.2V–3.3V (official blasters often limited to 3.3V). ✔ Cost-Effective – Cheaper than Intel’s original USB Blaster. ✔ Arduino Hackable – Can be repurposed for custom JTAG projects.

Applications

🔹 Programming Altera/Intel CPLD & FPGA (MAX, Cyclone, Stratix). 🔹 Embedded FPGA Debugging (JTAG boundary scan). 🔹 Academic & Research Projects (Digital logic labs). 🔹 Custom JTAG Tools (With Arduino integration).

Package Includes

• 1x Type-C USB Blaster Downloader.

• 1x 10-pin JTAG cable (2.54mm standard header).
