Quartus II V12.0 Blaster problem

I've just installed Quartus II V12.0. It seems to be working OK, but I can't get my device programmed with a USB Blaster clone, which worked fine with V11.1. The Blaster isn't recognised by the V12.0...

I don't know if this would help you.

I'm using the Linux version of WebEdition on a 64bit environment.

The WebEdition version is 32 bits only, and the jtagd was looking for 64bit version which, of course, wasn't installed.

I realized the file <altera install directory>/12.0/quartus/adm/qenv.sh is used to set up environment variables and near line 90 the following test is done:

if test `uname -m` = "x86_64" ; then

export QUARTUS_BIT_TYPE=64

fi

I commented these three lines and jtagd seems to work fine for me.

# WORKAROUND ONLY FOR ME.

# I commented the 3 next lines because

# I'm using the WebEdition Version on a 64Bit

# environment.

# FIXME# FIXME# FIXME# FIXME# FIXME# FIXME

# if test `uname -m` = "x86_64" ; then

# export QUARTUS_BIT_TYPE=64

# fi
