The USB-ML-12 (USB BDM Multilink) has been replaced with the Multilink Universal interface. Most software products will support the Multilink Universal transparently.
Please visit the Legacy Hardware Transition Support Page for more information.
Older software may need to be patched so that it will natively work with the latest Cyclones and Universal Multilinks. See FAQ #211.
Other compatible interfaces include the high-speed Multilink Universal FX, Cyclone LC programmer, and Cyclone FX programmer.
Multilink Trade-In Program
PEmicro offers a trade-in program for older Multilinks. If you have a USB BDM Multilink Cable, you can trade it in for a discount towards our Multilink Universal or Multilink Universal FX. Please visit our Multilink Trade-In Program page for more information.
