Hi,


From your description, it seems like you would like to connect the FPGA with Quartus installed on a server remotely. You can do so, as long as the USB connected to FPGA is able to be detected in Quartus remotely. Then you can work on it.

Hi YuanLi

I did make some progress in identifying the issue. The guest VDI I am developing on needs access to the client (my laptop) USB port. This article https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/sect-configuring_usb_devices

describes how to allow this.

The reason I ran into this problem was my company's security policy on its remote Red Hat Enterprise server which hosts the development tools. Being off-site requires special permission.

Cheers,

Michael
