Honored Contributor1) The SYSFS keywords have been removed in latest Ubuntu's udev, ATTR is now used, so the line you have to paste in your /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules is:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 %c" 2) Then, after reloading the rules with: udevadm control --reload-rules 3) Connect the USB Blaster 4) Run quartus_pgm (you may have to cd into quartus' "bin" dir) from a terminal and see what it says. If it complains with something like: *** The Quartus II software cannot be started because the current platform, 'linux64', does not appear to be installed in: Then you just have the 32 bits Quartus and to solve this it is as simple as creating a symbolic link of the "linux" folder (inside the quartus installation) called "linux64" 5) Then running: quartus_pgm -l should list the USB-Blaster. Now you can program from the CLI and from the Altera Programming GUI. Thanks to the ones that got the udev part! Regards.
