    mm520: the "Can't bind to TCP port 1309 - exiting" error message is probably due to jtagd already running. Kill it first and verify it's not running, then try your command again and check for possible other error messages.

    The suggestions in this thread doesn't take into account that different devices have different Product IDs (assumed to be 6001 in top post, this might be different for other users). Tristan's post has the same flaw. For a general solution, check your Product ID and use this, or add all known Product IDs to the udev rules. There is thorough instructions on this, along with trouble-shooting tips, here: http://www.fpga-dev.com/altera-usb-blaster-with-ubuntu/
