Honored ContributorSignalTap working on Windows but not on Linux
Hi!
I'm having some problems when trying to use SignalTap on Linux. I'm using two different setups: - DE2 development board with integrated USB Blaster - Custom board (EP4CE15) + external USB blaster clone The thing is, on Windows I can use SignalTap on both setups with no problem. On Linux I can use SignalTap with the DE2 but not on my custom board. Programmer works OK though. As far as I know it's only SignalTap what it's not working. Do you know what could the problem be? Anything I can try? Thank you very much for your help! Information that can be useful: - Linux Quartus II 64-Bit Version 13.0 Build 156. I tested also 12.1sp1 with same behaviour. - Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 64 bits "lsusb -v" for DE2 and USB blaster clone differ slightly on bMaxPacketSize0 and some names and serial numbers. I don't know if that could be a problem DE2 USB Blaster
