Using the DP Bus Blaster v3c to program Lattice CPLDs
Posted July 23, 2014 by Chris
"One day when playing with the CPLD board I accidentally shorted out two pins on the on-board FT2232 and – unfortunately – the magic smoke escaped! It was very clear that the FT2232 failed because it got very warm when plugging in the USB cable. Luckily the dev kit includes a 0.1″ header landing to connect an external JTAG probe. Wanting to get a Dangerous Prototypes Bus Blaster JTAG programmer anyway, this was the perfect excuse."
