USB Blaster Setting

Take a look at the last post in this (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5764&hl=dalon) thread.

Thank slacker,

I've read the thread about usbfs support on SuSE and spent days on on how to get SuSE support usbfs.

But obviously I could not understand how to compile and make my own SuSE compilation to support usbfs.

I swapped to Fedora, there is no /etc/hotplug either, then post help requests on both SuSE & Fedora forums and wait.

The reason I picked up SuSE & Fedora is because Quartus II announced to support:

RedHat Enterprise & SuSE

Am I something wrong to find a easy solution to get the USB blaster running?

Or just these versions of Linux are all ignoring usbfs?

Thanks for any suggestions!

It's a two step process:

1. Enable the option in your kernel. (Look for "USB Device filesystem")

2. Mount the filesystem (usually in /proc/bus/usb).

There are plenty of resources, on the web, on how to do this.... a quick Google search yielded about 5-10 useful results...on the first page.

Cheers, and Good luck!

Yes, but Quartus II only offically supports the older version of these Linux distro,

RHEL 3.0 and 4.0

SUSE 9.0

The latest version of these distro use udev, and won't work without extra hacking.

I would suggest that you should use the offically supported ones or compatible. I think CentOS 4.4 is a good choice.

Thanks everyone,

I think I'll use windows for design and download, just leave the software making in Linux and wait for new update of USB-Blaster driver.
