The Stratix IV GX transceiver signal integrity board includes integrated USB-Blaster
circuitry for FPGA programming. However, for the host computer and signal
integrity board to communicate, you must install the USB-Blaster driver on the host
computer.
To download the USB-Blaster driver, go to the Altera support site at
www.altera.com/support/software/drivers/dri-index.html.
To install it, go to
blaster-xp.html.
