USB-Blaster under Linux?

Hi Slacker,

You're right, everything works just fine now. It turns out that my project was fouled up and SOPC/Quartus didn't match NIOS IDE.

I don't have Quartus running on Linux yet, waiting for the licensing to be straightened out. My main goal is to run the NIOS IDE because I just didn't want to put up with the pain of working with it under Win anymore. It's gotten so sluggish I just can't bear it anymore.

For now I build the SOF under Windows, burn it into flash and then download my software from Linux-NIOS. That way I have at least the IDE working in it's proper environment.

Thanks for the tips,

Andrew

the routines which perform the sysid checks, on the host (win32/linux), are pretty much the same. all run/download/debug traffic is routed through nios2-gdb-server.

what are the differences between what your ptf contains, in the sysid peripheral, and what the ide is reporting? posting your exact error message could help.

also, if i were you, i would try doing the following on your linux box:

1. generating/re-generating your sopc builder system.

2. building your project in the ide.

3. compiling in quartus ii.

in my experience, ide builds and sopc builder generations are noticeably quicker running in linux.

good luck!
