Review: Good quality if a little on the expensive side - I needed to use a CPLD on a project and in the interest of getting up and running I bought a usb blaster and dev board from the same vendor. The CPLD board powered up with a flashing light and was working correctly, but the usb-blaster refused to work, reading up the reviews on the other product I found a few others with the same issue recently. So rather than waste any more time, I looked around and saw this wave share usb-blaster, having used a number of different wave share products in the past, I've always had a trouble free experience and reading the reviews on this told me that it was a much better alternative to the more "generic" blasters that were available. It's priced higher, 3 times as much as the others, but it's not outrageous but it would be a no-brainer if it were at the 20 quid mark, but it isn't, so it loses 1 value for money star because I think it's a little overpriced. That said, I plugged it in and Quartus could not see it, I checked in device manager and the driver was missing. I attempted to install the Windows 10 driver, but windows told me it could not install and quit. I did some searching and realised it's a problem I've encountered on my own products, the driver isn't signed and Windows 10 requires a signed INF file to install, so I rebooted windows with signature enforcement off and tried installing the driver again and this time it installed. Once you have the driver installed you can simply boot back into windows normally and the device will then function as normal, so I fired up Quartus again, opened the programmer and pressed the "auto detect" button, the lights flashed on the device briefly and it showed the CPLD device in the list! It works! It comes with the necessary ISP cable to connect to the CPLD (or FPGA) and includes the mini-usb cable as well. Forget the cheaper usb-blasters and go for this one, it will save your sanity!
Review: Works well - Plug and play, worked very well. A little expensive but you get what you pay for I guess. The cheap ones are a waste of time

## Features

- The USB Blaster Download Cable interfaces a USB port on a host computer to FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board.
- The cable sends configuration data from the PC to a standard 10-pin header connected to the FPGA.
- You can use the USB Blaster cable to iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping or to program data into the system during production.
- It surpports FPGA/CPLD devices, Active Serial Configuration Devices, Enhanced Configuration Devices, and supports AS, PS, JTAG three download modes.
- LED Status：Red LED: Power indicator; Green LED: Signal indicator, the LED is on while downloading/programming
