How to install Quartus II Web Edition Software on Ubuntu 11.04

Hi,

On my Ubuntu system, removing the USB-Blaster, then clearing the kernel messages using 'sudo dmesg -c', and then re-inserting the USB-Blaster, I get the following output;

dwh@ubuntu:~$ dmesg

I'm not sure why you are getting a message indicating 'invalid maxpacket 64', since that packet size is valid.

I'd focus on trying to figure out why you are getting that message first.

Plug in a development kit and try jtagconfig too.

Cheers,
