Hello,

a) We made a general purpose module of FT232H. For various applications of USB to JTAG, SPI, I2C etc.
b) We could easily program Spartan 3 or Spartan 6 Xilinx FPGA using "xc3sprog" freeware s/w.
c) Now we want to use this module under impact or Quartus (Altera) package to program other 5V devices like CPLD or 50AN or Cyclone 2 or Cyclone 4 etc.
Can you guide about needed driver s/w needed to achieve the above one or all?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Unfortunately we don't have any experience with impact or Quartus (Altera) package.
These packages require specific hardware to program FPGAs as mentioned in an external forum that you have created:

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/FPGA-Configuration/Programming-CPLD-XC95108-using-FT232H/m-p/1192066

If no-one else on this FTDI community website can help, it may be worthwhile contacting Altera.
Another community user already replied to one of your posts on this:

“Try UrJTAG”

If you are trying to clone FPGA programmers that’s not something we can support.

The FT232H uses our standard VCP Drivers or D2XX Drivers.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
1)   I am using “xc3sprog” with self-made PCB module FT232H for programming devices like Spartan 3, Spartan 6. Also tried for CPLD but error occurs as below. Please help me in this issue.

C:\Users\USER\Desktop\CPLD95108JEDFILE>xc3sprog -c ftdi -v andcpld.jed

Sorry, can't program Xilinx device 'XC95108' from family 0x4a A more recent release may be able to.

2) As you have said use "UrJTAG", I tried it but Altera devices failed to detect.

Please suggest solutions.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Unfortunately we don't provide support for xc3sprog, or impact/Quartus tools.

You can find the link below for support with this tool:
