I'm currently trying to set up the USB Blaster II for a Max 10 10M08 Evaluation Kit using Ubuntu ran on Virtualbox. On terminal, it says that the USB blaster is connected (using lsusb). I've also created the file named usbblaster.rules. Not sure as to why it's not showing up as hardware in the programmer menu of Quartus Prime Lite when I try to add it. Any ideas or any thing I could do to make this work? Thank you.

Hi NSook,
Can you check your JTAG connection first whether it is working or not? (jtagconfig)
open Command Prompt ---> go to Quartus directory <Quartus installation directory>intelFPGA\18.1\quartus\bin64> ---> run jtagconfig
And, show me the screenshot of your jtagconfig ?
Cheers

When I initially typed lsusb. it initially showed that the USB-Blaster was connected. When I typed jtagconfig, the blue light on the USB-Blaster turned off and then on again. Not sure if my USB-Blaster is working properly as I saw yesterday that after a while, it was disconnected from the USB bus. When I remove and reinsert the cable, it appears in the bus again.

This is the output when I run dmesg -w. The first box indicates when the device is initially connected. The second box is the output when jtagconfig is run. Not sure why it is disconnecting.

Hi NSook,
Have you change the permissions on the the device files? If not, you can try this step:

I hope this will help you.
Thanks
