USB Blaster II Serial Number

[Reetoot]

Hello.

Is there a serial number for USB-BlasterII that is accessible via the command:

jtagconfig --getparam <cable> <param> ?

We are trying to find  a persistent identifier of the cable to be used when simultaneously programming multiple boards using multiple USB-BlasterII cables

For the following command:

quartus_pgm -c "USB-BlasterII [USB-0]" "C:\Firmware\prog.cdf”

We cannot rely on "USB-BlasterII [USB-0]" as cable identifier since it can change when unplugged or which port is detected first when doing reboot/restart. Can we replace that with serial number similar to Xilinx Platform Cable USB II ?

Appreciate any help/clarification on this.

Hi,
looking at embedded USB Blaster II hardware on various dev kits, it has no feature to store an unique device ID, e.g. serial number.

Guess the option is neither available on USB Blaster II Programming Cable.

Hi there,

There is no serial number available, but could you please check if the order changes when you reconnect or reboot the device? For example, if the cable always remains as number 1, you can try:

quartus_pgm -c 1

Best regards,

quartus_pgm -c1 xxxx

quartus_pgm -c2 xxxx

quartus_pgm -c3 xxxx

if you have multiple USB Blaster cable connected to same host.
