I am looking for the Letter of Volatility for the Altera USB-Blaster II.  I was previously provided under case #05156156 to another member.  Can you please e-mail it to me.  Thanks

Hi, I received the letter but ask for an update.  The letter's subject is "Intel FPGA USB Download Cable (formerly the USB Blaster)", and in the body it refers to "[PL-USB-BLASTER-RCN]".

The issue is that part I have in hand states "Altera USB-Blaster II".  There is no reference to Intel or the part number you referred to.  So my ask is can you update the letter to include "Altera USB-Blaster II" either in the Subject line or in the body.

ps. picture of product attached for reference

Thanks

Hello Intel,

 

Thank you for providing the LoV. My security team has a question for you.   In the LoV for the Altera USB-Blaster II, It says "The firmware does support programming the non-volatile firmware storage memory as well as the non-volatile UFM. These features are only internally available but the functionality is there."

By "only internally available", does that mean only Intel personnel can program the non-volatile firmware (through the use of proprietary software, etc.)?

We need to make sure that anyone in general cannot edit the non-volatile memory. If we can, is there a procedure to sanitize it?
