Programming Legacy Altera parts

Hi,

I have some legacy test equipment that's critical to my operation.  I've identified the defective component as an older Altera EPX880LC84-10.  I have access to the program and some blank devices, but not the programmer.  What are my chances of ramping-up to program these devices?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,
according to support article, it can be programmed with MaxPlus software and Byteblaster, a simple LPT-port JTAG adapter. Programming is probably also supported by third party universal programmers.

Hi,


EPX880LC84-10 was obsolete years back. Hence we do not have much information for this.


However, you can try to use BitBlaster or ByteBlaster and MAX PLUS II.
