The Cyclone III FPGA development board includes an integrated
USB-Blaster circuitry for FPGA programming. However, for the host
computer and board to communicate, you must install the USB-Blaster
driver on the host computer.
Installation instructions for the USB-Blaster driver are available on the
Altera website at
dri-index.html. On the “Altera Programming Cable Driver Information”
page of the Altera website, locate the table entry for your configuration

Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit
USB-Blaster™ driver software on the host computer. The
Cyclone III FPGA starter development board includes an integrated
USB-Blaster circuitry for FPGA programming.
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (SW1) is in the OFF position (up).
Connect the USB-Blaster cable from the host computer to the
USB-Blaster port on the development board.
Connect the 12-V DC adapter to the development board and to a
power source.
Press the power switch (SW1).
Confirm that all four user LEDs are ON.
Only use the supplied 12-V power supply. Power regulation
circuitry on the board could be damaged by supplies greater
than 12 V.
