Programming DE1-SoC FPGA only from Quartus Prime Lite Edition Ubuntu 16.04

jfrye@jfrye-Inspiron-5547:~$ sudo /home/jfrye/Quartus/quartus/bin/jtagconfig

[sudo] password for jfrye:

No JTAG hardware available

Still nothing

Did some more investigating and saw this

[19411.895662] usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 9 using ehci-pci

[19412.004477] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idvendor=09fb, idproduct=6810

[19412.004481] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

That looks promising but I am not sure what exactly I have to do to make Quartus recognize the device is present to program it

Then it's not a permission problem. I'm using Gentoo, but my USB blasters are identified by their name, e.g.

 usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci
 usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=09fb, idProduct=6010
 usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
 usb 1-2: Product: CV SoCKit
 usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Altera

Unless there was a stale jtagd process left over when you were running as user jfrye.

To rule out this you could try

sudo killall -9 jtagd
sudo /home/jfrye/Quartus/quartus/bin/jtagconfig

If that does not detect anything it might be related to the FTDI driver. Perhaps somebody with a Ubuntu 16.04 system have some input...

I have the answer. I will provide my files

/etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb",

ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",

ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb",

ATTR{idProduct}=="6810",

NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}",

RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 %c"

# USB-Blaster

/etc/udev/rules.d/altera-usb-blaster.rules

ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666"

I also copied pgm_parts.txt into the bin directory, which also has jtagd. I then ran jtagd. After that everything worked
