2.3.3. Installing the Intel® FPGA Download Cable Driver

The development board includes integrated Intel® FPGA Download Cable circuitry for FPGA programming. However, for the host computer and board to communicate, you must install the Onboard Intel® FPGA Download Cable II driver on the host computer.

Installation instructions for the Onboard Intel® FPGA Download Cable II driver for your operating system are available on the Altera® website.

On the Altera website, navigate to the Cable and Adapter Drivers Information link to locate the table entry for your configuration and click the link to access the instructions.
