Altera_ForumHi all
If your blaster didn't works and error message like this 1) USB-Blaster variant [2-2] Unable to lock chain (Insufficient port permissions) Will You need run jtagd at root permissions For example that i start my quartusII by console sudo su ....../....../quartus/bin/jtagd ...../......./quartus/bin/jtagconfig it should like this root@#######:/home/kqalea/FPGA/quartus/bin# ./jtagd root@#######:/home/kqalea/FPGA/quartus/bin# ./jtagconfig 1) USB-Blaster [2-2] 020B30DD EP2C(15|20) then run su back to your account like su kqalea for example Blaster now nicely working for you Regards Kqalea C- Altera_Forum
You shouldn't need to run jtagd as root on any Linux platform.
If it's not working then you probably got the rules wrong - please copy the file from http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/dri-usb_b-lnx.html If jtagd isn't working then please check the permissions on the appropriate /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<dev> device as this is the one which jtagd will be using. You can temporarily run jtagd in a separate shell with the --foreground argument to find out which devices it's trying to open. - Altera_Forum
Hello,
I installed quartus on ubuntu10.04 ,its working fine.Because of some problems i changed ubuntu10.04 to ubuntu12.04,can i folow the same procedure? that means, 1,i have given permissions like chmod +x 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh after USB blaster rules, bash./setup. then its working nicely. Now in my ubuntu 12.04 its showing like /bin/sh -> dash, instead of /bin/sh -> bash. Now my question is can i follow same procedure like what i did in ubuntu10.04, if not please tel me the step by step procedure. Thanks in advance. - Altera_Forum
Hmm~~
I don't really know , i hadn't try install Quartus 11.1 before So i don't know what's inside the installation shell script But I don't see any thing else can cause fail if you can install Quartus11.1 at ubuntu10.04 Just try it , Regards, Kqalea C - Altera_Forum
Hi,
But u posted as quartus on 12.04, what about jtag, how to get jtag rules.Plz tel the procedure am very new to this . Thanks&Regards, Alex. - Altera_Forum
1) 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. - Altera_Forum
Hi all,
I installed correctly Quartus 12 in Lubuntu 64 bit 12.04 a few month ago, but after the last Update & upgrade in ubuntu. Now I can't execute Quartus. When I execute quartus. ~: /home/.../altera/12.0/quartus/bin/quartus ~:/home/.../altera/12.0/quartus/bin/quartus: line 71: /home/.../altera/12.0/quartus/linux/quartus: No such file or directory The quartus file exist. ~: ls -l /home/.../altera/12.0/quartus/linux/quartus ~: -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... 262662 jun 1 09:53 /home/.../altera/12.0/quartus/linux/quartus The line 71 that corresponds to the file launcher "/home/.../altera/12.0/quartus/bin/quartus"is this: eval exec "$CMD_NAME $cmd_line" I didn't find what program was updated in ubuntu and that prevents me from running Quartus. Someone had the same problem? Thank you very much, - Altera_Forum
Hi all again,
I found the solution, it's necessary to install again ia32-libs. ~: sudo aptitude install ia32-libs or sudo apt-get install ia32-libs There is a conflict between different library files with Wine 1.5. The solution proposed by apt-get or aptitude is uninstall "ia32-libs". So should not update wine to 1.5 for the moment. I hope someone can be this helpful Regards - Altera_Forum
When I run
$jtagd --foreground I received the following error JTAG daemon started Can't bind to TCP port 1309 - exiting How do I check the permissions on the /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<dev> device Thank you. - Altera_Forum
recently I've tried installing the software on two different machines running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and still seem to get errors with file not found or the installer never appearing after the extraction.
We found that installing the ia32-libs package allows us to continue with the normal installer without running installers directly or having to download the entire ISO or larger device packages. Is there any plan for a pure 64-bit compatible installer?
