Bad USB Blaster based on cypress chip (CY7C68013A)
My kit comes with a bad USB Blaster, it shows as USBee ax pro, and it is not recognized
Video done on linux
Video done in windows
Original lsusb output, for the device that is not recognized by quartus prime
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 08a9:0014 CWAV Inc. USBee AX-Pro
USBee ax pro reprogram procedure to USB Blaster that worked
Extra use for the device
Changing vid and pid to act like a Saleae Logic analizer, and use his software
