Linux RHEL5 USB Blaster Installation

Even though Quartus-II 7.2 does NOT officially support Linux RHEL5, has anyone been successful installing (and using) the USB Blaster? The REH3/4 installation doesn't seem to be applicable. ...

Hi,

you can probably just restart udev, but the other important thing is (i have found) creating an init script to start the jtagserver. i have attached a tgz with the rules i use in my fc8 install, and previous RHEL5 install.

you should see a device called /dev/usbblaster. note that this doesn't support multiple usbblaster, i just didn't bother.
