fpga - Do I need to buy USB Blaster with DE0-Nano?


I am moving this question here to separate question altogether:



[DE0-Nano] [l]ooks really good, but do I need to buy the USB Blaster (or another programmer) too?



Please, explain the context in a beginner style, what is it really needed for?

Answer

Configuration Status and Set-Up Elements



  • On-board USB-Blaster circuit for programming

  • Altera serial configuration device – EPCS16



So no, you don't need an external programmer for this board.
