So from a fresh install of Ubuntu: 

 

11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh 

chmod +x 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh 

./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh 

 

./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh  

Creating directory 11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux 

Verifying archive integrity... All good. 

Uncompressing Quartus II Web Edition (Free).......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Extraction failed. 

 

So I try to change couple of things that didn't help? 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash <no> to set bash as default. 

ls -al /bin/sh 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2012-01-25 08:41 /bin/sh -> bash 

 

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs csh 

 

any ideas? 

 

 

# ######################################################## 

# UPDATE: [SOLVED] 

# ######################################################## 

sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh 

 

Add the following lines to the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules file. 

# USB-Blaster  

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"  

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666"  

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666" 

 

sudo apt-get install libxerces-c28 

sudo apt-get install lib32icu44 

 

cd altera/11.1sp1/quartus/  

sudo cp /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28.0 linux64/libaxerces-c.so.26  

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicudata.so.44 linux64/libicudata.so.34 

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.44.2 linux64/libicuuc.so.33 

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.44 ../linux64/libicuuc.so.34 

 

sudo locale-gen en_US 

 

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

You probably have a corrupted archive. 

 

Make sure the MD5sum matches what's on the website for the downloaded file. 

 

md5sum should be installed already, if not it will tell you what package you need when you try to use it.

Try 

 

sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh 

 

Don't ask me why ... it worked when I tried it :) 

 

Cheers, 

Dave

@anakha (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=2471) 

My md5sum was ok ;) 

 

sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh 

start the installation 

If the script is using specific feature of bash that are not supported in sh. 

 

so I replace in the file# !/bin/sh 

for # !/bin/bash 

 

and it solve the problem! So Altera should replace sh for bash in there script! Where is there bug report website to tell them? 

 

SUMMARIZED: 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash <no> 

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs 

sudo bash ./11.1sp1_216_quartus_free_linux.sh

Franz&#65292;in your post, you said you did: 

 

2 add on /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules 

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 %c" 

 

I want to know, if the version is quartus 8.0, should I change anything of the above content?

Hi, Franz 

 

Thank's for your reply. 

 

I just succeeded install quartus II on Ubuntu11.10. But there are still some problems. 

 

When I compile the hello_word project, I had the message: 

 

 

**** Build of configuration Debug for project hello_world_0 **** 

 

make -s all includes  

Error: no processor component available. 

SOPC_BUILDER_PATH may be incorrectly set in your environment. 

 

make[1]: *** [proc_check] Error 1 

make: *** [system_project] Error 2 

Build completed in 11.841 seconds

this happens because you dont have a nios2 processor in your design...... 

 

you need to add a processor, ram memory, jtag uart in sopc builder 

 

or  

 

open a nios2 example for your board

Still having this issue: 

When I open the programmer I have this error on my console : 

/home/kapare/altera/11.1sp1/quartus/linux64/jtagd: error while loading shared libraries: libaxerces-c.so.26: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 

 

So this post solve my problem 

 

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33163 

 

sudo apt-get install libxerces-c28 

sudo cp /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28.0 linux64/libaxerces-c.so.26  

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicudata.so.44 linux64/libicudata.so.34 

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.44.2 linux64/libicuuc.so.33 

 

sudo apt-get install lib32icu44 

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicudata.so.44 ../linux64/libicudata.so.34 

sudo cp /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.44 ../linux64/libicuuc.so.34 

 

Then finally I was able to select USB-Blaster [1-1] 

 

But since I'm on a virtual machine on Mac the result of flashing is stil FAILED :( 

 

I heard that it was possible from a VM with windows??? will try it...

I have VirtualBox running under Linux (Centos 6.2) and Windows XP hosts, and they allow the VM to capture the USB-Blaster interface (I've used Ubuntu, Centos, and Windows XP clients in the VM). 

 

Windows 7 will not.

Thx Dave, 

 

I have Mac OS 10.7 with VMWare Version 4.1.1 (536016) running Windows 7 64bits with Quartus sp2. 

 

I'm able to flash from my Windows 7 Machine :)) 

NOTE: I only check Program/Configure in the programmer otherwise if I check Verify it fail. 

 

So wait let me try on Ubuntu without the Verify option!!! 

RESULT: IT'S WORKING :p  

 

So my problem was the verify option removing this solve my problem. 

NOTE: I did test all the options only the Verify + Program/Configure.

Hi Franz, 

 

I got exact problem you met. However, even I try your solution, but I still can not make usb-blaster working on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. 

Do you have any idea what is going on?

Attached is my UDEV rules for Ubuntu 12.04. I know I had to modify them due to a change in UDEV system from 10.04 to 12.04, I've also added more variations, due to different dev kit versions of the USB blaster. 

 

Let me know if these work for you. The number in the name: 53 vs 51 is just an ordering item, you can rename it as you wish. Remove the .txt extension. and copy into /etc/udev/rules.d 

 

Let me know if this helps.

Here what I do since 12.04. Usb-blaster is not always working properly in a VM! 

1- sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch 

2- tar xzvf 12.0sp1_232_modelsim_ase_linux.tar.gz 

3- sudo bash ./setup 

 

I don't recall if I needed to start quartus as root (sudo) to have access USB-Blaster but I don't think so. We only use quartus for compilation on our build server and program it with Windows or our own devices. 

 

Hope it can help,
