Quartus v12.x v13.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 linux - usb port settings for jtagd usb blaster

Hi,

I followed the instructions on the altera website to set the usb port settings in linux in the rules.d directory in order to run the usb blaster. That did not work and the access rights are not set. On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, the setting in the rules file 51-usbblaster.rules has to be

# Altera USB-Blaster for Quartus FPGA Software

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666"# USB-Blaster II

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666"

I used that with a Altera DE1 board with on-board blaster and that worked.

Regards

Friedrich

    Hi,

    I have same OS and Quartus, and have tried all possible approaches posted. I still can not find the build-in USB-blaster II from my DE5-NET board.

    if lsusb, i can get:

    Bus 001 Device 013: ID 09fb:6810 Altera

    But jtagconfig, it prompts:

    No JTAG hardware available

    Have you met the same problem?

    Regards,

    Hi Friedrich,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I checked the permission of my usb port.

    crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 133 Dec 9 09:37 006

    I think it's fine.

    But the device is still not available.

    Regards,
