Ubuntu JTAG problem

Hi,

I have Quartus Lite 17.1 on Ubuntu 20.04. At programmer I don't see my device. When I write lsusb, I saw Altera USB-BlasterII but programmer cant see the device. I looked forums and i tried solutions but nothing could help. Some says edit the rules but I dont even have 51-usbblaster.rules file. When I did jtagdconfig on terminal I'm getting jtagdconfig: command not found. This made me think it may cause of drivers but didnt saw anything about it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Hi,


    You will need to check if the board has embedded USB blaster, then only it is possible to use USB type B.

    Hi,


    Can you try to unsintalled and re-installed the USB blaster II driver? Make sure to correctly installed the driver.


    Also, can you use latest Quartus version which is version 23.1?

    Hi,

    I have to figure it out without using 23.3 because my project was designed for 17.1 and would be better to use it.

    I'm not sure that I installed USB blaster II driver. Can you give me a link for correct driver?

    Regards,

      Thank you, it solved for Usb blaster II. But I have one more cable for another FPGA and it uses USB type B 3.0 for programming. What should I do so Programmer can see the device?

    Additionally, please ensure that the USB blaster II are from Intel authorized distributor.
