Install USB-Blaster Driver:

Please reference
Writing udev rules
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#syntax

Altera provides little support for the USB-Blaster drivers, only Red Hat is officially supported. Depending on your Linux distribution you will have to work a little to make it work. We will progressively add in the following subsections the information to install the USB-Blaster for each distribution. It will be difficult for us to test every distribution of Linux, so if your distribution is not listed there but one of the solution worked or if you had to look for a solution elsewhere, we encourage you to contribute to these subsections by sharing your experience.

To let users use the USB-Blaster device, you need to give them the right to. On Gentoo, you must add your user to the usb group (in /etc/group) to be able to program the device. On other distributions, you need to have write access to /proc/bus/usb/bus/id.

Here is an example for Ubuntu:

• Create a new rule file with your favorite text editor (like vim):

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

• Insert the following lines

# Altera USB-Blaster rule to set mode to 666.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 %c"

• Load this new rule by typing:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

solve permission problem

We need to patch the JTAG server to look for devices in /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices instead of /proc/bus/usb/devices, and in /dev/bus/usb/.../.../ instead of /proc/bus/usb/.../.../.

As the former won't fit in the string placeholder of the binary file, we choose to create a soft link.

sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices

This soft link will disappear on reboot, so if you don't want to type it every time, add this line in a script or in your /etc/rc.local file (without the sudo).

Now we will use sed to replace the paths that the JTAG server is looking at. There are 2 sets of commands, one for 32-bit OS and the other one for 64-bit. Select the set corresponding to your system. If you have a doubt, it won't harm to patch both files. Before executing the commands, replace<installation path> by your installation path (e.g., /opt/altera/10.0). Note that these commands will create a backup copy of the JTAG server (jtagd.bak).

For 32-bit OS:

sudo sed -i.bak 's/\/proc\/bus\/usb\/%03u\/%03u/\/dev\/bus\/usb\/%03u\/%03u\d0/g' <installation path>/quartus/linux/jtagd
sudo sed -i 's/\/proc\/bus\/usb\/devices/\/dev\/bus\/usb\/devices\d0/g' <installation path>/quartus/linux/jtag

sed
