14 years ago --- Quote Start --- My interest is to know if someone have try to install Quartus II programmer on a ARM linux and if it worked? --- Quote End --- Its not possible. --- Quote Start --- My second interest is to see the source code that do that. I have not see the source code of Quartus II Programmer, is it available? --- Quote End --- No, its not available. --- Quote Start --- My last question is if anybody have any suggestion of open source project that could do the programmation of cyclone III using USB blaster or JTAG? --- Quote End --- If you have the USB-Blaster connected to the USB port on the ARM processor, and that ARM processor is running Linux, then you can look at the USBIP project: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ I tested the following configuration; Freescale PowerPC QorIQ P2020 COM Express running Linux, with the BeMicro-SDK board plugged into the USB port (the board has an on-board USB-Blaster), and then ran USBIP server on that board. I had a USBIP client running on an Ubuntu 11.04 x86 64-bit laptop, and could program the BeMicro-SDK. However, if you are designing an ARM board with an FPGA, you can just program the FPGA directly ... http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/carma_board/fpga_configuration.pdf (http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/%7edwh/carma_board/fpga_configuration.pdf) But you would not have access to the SignalTapII logic analyzer, NIOS debugger, etc, using this latter method.
