I'm not sure what you mean. There are no physical USB-Blasters supplied with Quartus but the drivers should be there (look for a drivers directory as part of your Quartus install).

no ,i can't find it in my altera\quartus50\driver\usb blaster directory. I think there must be some thing wrong with my software. So i want to install it separately.

THX all the same!

if some kind friend have the install file ,looking forward to sending to my email box.thank you!

Here is a link to USB Blaster installation information.

http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-devkits.jsp (http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-devkits.jsp)

There is no installation file other than the driver that is installed in the QuartusII directory,

Example Directory,

C:\altera\quartus50\drivers\usb-blaster

If you are using Windows, windows should detect the presents of a new USB device, if it does then you

must follow the instructions that are in the above link to the user guide for installation. If windows does

not detect a new device, then you may have something wrong with you USB port or Windows drivers to your

USB port.

Good Luck,
