Quartus II with ubuntu 11.04

--- Quote Start ---

Hi ,

I just installed Quartus II on ubuntu 11.04 operating system. It successfully got installed and i can see a directory named altera in my home directory which has further subdirectories. Now how can i run the software from terminal. How can i source quartus and run it ? Please help me.

You first add the bin/ directory of quartus to your path via something like:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/altera/11.0/quartus/bin

Then check that things are setup

which quartus

And then run the program

quartus

Cheers,

Dave

The USB-Blaster udev rule is in this thread

Cheers,

thanks for the reply dave,

i tried to set udev rules like this

first i opened

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules

then i simply pasted these rules explained

# 51-usbblaster.rules# # * Use lsusb to see the 'Altera' bus and device number. # The device node is then /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device># # * use jtagconfig to detect devices on the usbblaster# BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"

in the text file and next

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Now, i opened Quartus again and reconnected the USB but still i am unable to see

the USB blaster in hardware setup. Please reply =)

Do you have a USB-Blaster plugged into this machine? Is it a real machine or a virtual machine? Virtual machines do not work (at least the latest versions of VMWare and VirtualBox do not).

Did you try any of the tests mentioned in the udev rules comments?

* lsusb should show you the Altera device

* jtagconfig can be used to scan a JTAG chain

Cheers,

Dave

First remove the USB-Blaster and clear the kernel message log via;

sudo dmesg -c

Then plug in the USB-Blaster and type

dmesg

Does it indicate the USB-Blaster was detected?

Do you know that your USB-Blaster works? Do you know that the USB port works?

Cheers,

Dave

No, you have a different problem.

I installed Web Version of Quartus 11.1 (no Service Packs) from iso file (11.1_173_acds_linux.iso) on Ubuntu 11.04

--- Quote End ---

You haven't installed Web Edition, you must have installed the subscription edition.

Your USB-Blaster setup looks fine.

Okay, any ideas? I downloaded a 3.7G file ACDS v11.1 Linux DVD (ISO) from this page:

https :// www . altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-se

I see another 5.2G iso - 11.1_acds_devices.iso, which I did not download... Should I install that package too? Do you recommend to install SP2 immediately (another 3G file) ?

Here's the Web Edition link I recently used:

https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-we

Here's my notes from 11.10 install. I think it just 'worked' under 11.04, so you might not see the error message:

#  Uncompress the Quartus Web Edition archive
mkdir temp
cd temp
sudo /bin/bash /mnt/quartus/11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh
#  and you will see the following messages
Creating directory 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Quartus II Web Edition (Free)...........

#  Change into the uncompressed archive folder and run the setup utility
cd 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux
sudo /bin/bash ./setup
#  This starts the installation GUI.#  Install Quartus#  eg. install into /opt/altera/11.1sp1_free
