More Information


The MicroBlaster fast passive parallel software driver allows you to configure devices in fast passive parallel mode. The programming input file supported is in raw binary file (.rbf) format. The MicroBlaster fast passive parallel software driver is targeted for embedded fast passive parallel configuration. The source code has been developed for Windows NT. You can customize the code to make it run in other platforms.For more information on using the MicroBlaster fast passive parallel software driver, refer to the following documents: Configuring the MicroBlaster Fast Passive Parallel Software Driver (https://cmspsg.intel.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_US/pdfs/literature/wp/wp_microblaster_config.pdf)


The MicroBlaster passive serial software driver allows you to configure devices in passive serial mode. The programming input file supported is in RBF format. The MicroBlaster passive serial software driver is targeted for embedded passive serial configuration. The source code has been developed for Windows NT. You can customize the code to make it run in other platforms.For more information on using the MicroBlaster passive serial software driver, refer to the following document: Implementing the MicroBlaster Configuration on the Coldfire Development Board (https://cmspsg.intel.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_US/pdfs/literature/wp/wp_mcrblstr.pdf)
