1. Installing the MasterBlaster
Serial/USB Communications Cable
Introduction
The MasterBlaster TM serial/USB communications cable is a download cable that
allows PC and workstation users to program and configure devices in-system. The
MasterBlaster cable provides multi-device JTAG chain configuration and
programming support for SRAM-based devices, such as APEX TM 20K and Mercury TM
devices, EEPROM-based devices, such as MAX ? 3000 and MAX 7000 devices, and
configuration devices, such as the EPC2 and EPC16. You can also use the
MasterBlaster cable to run SignalTap ? II logic analysis. The MasterBlaster cable also
provides multi-device passive serial (PS) chain configuration support for
SRAM-based devices, such as APEX 20K and Mercury devices. This cable can be used
in 2.5-, 3.3-, and 5.0-V systems.
Altera? offers a variety of hardware to program and configure Altera devices. For
conventional device programming, in-system programming, and in-circuit
reconfiguration, designers can choose from a wide range of programming hardware
options.

Installation
The MasterBlaster communications cable connects a circuit board to the USB
(Windows 2000, Windows XP x32 edition, and Windows Vista x32 edition only) or RS-
232 serial port (called a COM port on a PC) on a PC, UNIX, or Linux workstation. The
10-pin female plug for the cable connects to a 10-pin male header on the circuit board
that contains the target device(s), as shown in Figure 1–1 . Programming or
configuration data can be downloaded from the serial or USB port, using the Quartus ?
II Programmer, through the MasterBlaster cable to the circuit board through these
connections.

The Quartus II software version 8.1 and later will no longer support MasterBlaster
communication cable.
The MasterBlaster communications cable receives power from any one of the
following sources:
5.0- or 3.3-V circuit boards
5.0 V from the USB cable (Windows 2000, Windows XP x32 edition, and Windows
Vista x32 edition only)
