A USB Blaster is a type of programming cable used to program and debug FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) devices, CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices), and other integrated circuits. It is a popular tool among electronics engineers, developers, and hobbyists who work with programmable logic devices. The USB Blaster connects to a computer via a USB port and provides a way to communicate with the target device.
Zadig is a USB driver installation tool for Windows that replaces generic drivers with libusb/WinUSB drivers. Many FPGA tools (OpenOCD, urJTAG) work with libusb drivers.
