Hi all,

I have Quartus v9.1 for linux and I use ubuntu 9.10. I tried to follow the steps told by Tristan to get my USB Blaster (terasic) run but I failed.... :(

I followed the modified step 1 (USBFS emulation for Altera USB Blaster) and I had appended the code given for the same (but prior to the exit 0 ) in the /etc/rc.local file and when i run the sudo /etc/rc.local i get the error which says

" mount: unknown filesystem type 'usbfs' "

I am new to linux...

Please help!!! :confused:
