JTAG on XUBUNTU (VMWare image)

--- Quote Start ---

Hi,

I was able to set up Quartus+Nios on a Xubuntu 10.10, but I cannot figure out what to do with the jtag. Whatever I do, the result is:

vmplanet@ubuntu:~$ lsusb

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 09fb:6001 Altera

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

vmplanet@ubuntu:~$ /altera/10.1sp1/quartus/bin/jtagconfig

No JTAG hardware available

What I tried before is:

a) added "usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666.0.0 " to /etc/fstab

b)added "BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster" " to 70-persistent-net.rules (the manual says put this line to 40-permissions.rules that does not exist)

So, if anybody knows a solution, please help!

Some things you should try:

1. comment out the line you made in a)

2. on b) remove it out of 70-persistent-net.rules and write it into "51-usbblaster.rules"

3. create an empty file named ".jtag.conf"

I use Ubuntu 10.10 and these are the steps I made to work with the usbblaster.
