GÖPEL has developed a new option in its System Cascon software suite to support Altera’s USB-Blaster download cable. The driver integration of download cable in the software suite enables the USB Blaster download cable to be used as a native JTAG/boundary scan controller throughout the entire product life cycle.
USB-Blaster can also be used to program Flash devices in-system and configure Altera FPGAs via the Jam Standard Test and Programming Language, JEDEC standard JESD-71, Simple Vector Format specification or IEEE-Std.1532 specification. Additional software support for boundary scan chain designs with multi-drop devices is automatic, including all scan router devices by Firecron, National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments.
All test and in system programming procedures generated with the download cable are cross-compatible with other JTAG/boundary scan controllers by GÖPEL, including the hardware platform SCANFLEX.
Support is included for no additional charge beginning with release 4.3. Customers can purchase the USB-Blaster download cable through Altera distributors.
