Hello, 

 

i want to build my own Altera development board with onboard USB Blaster. 

 

Is it possible to get an USB-Blaster POF-File and a Schematic example to 

build my own onboard USB Blaster ? 

 

I am looking forward to help.

A suitable schematic is easy enough to come by - it's available on many of Altera/Terasic's development boards, for which the documentation and schematics can typically be downloaded from Altera. 

 

However, Altera license the design for the Blaster CPLD. You'll have to convince them you're a worthy customer and you'll have to pay for it.
