Quartus II JTAG Server Error Code 89

[Altera_Forum]

I've been trying to program my DE0-Nano for over an hour and a half now, and I am always getting an error when I press start in the programmer: 

Info (209060): Started Programmer operation at Fri Jul 26 17:38:22 2013 Error (209053): Unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 89 Error (209012): Operation failed Info (209061): Ended Programmer operation at Fri Jul 26 17:38:22 2013  I am using the 64 bit, linux, free web edition of quartus 2. Anyone?

I hate to bump this early, but someone? How hard can this be to fix? Really...

Sometimes I face issues with the JTAG USB dev not showing up on powerup. This is what I have followed. 

Add a line to etc/rc.local to start the jtag server. http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/quartus_for_linux#setup_jtag Do the step outlined in this link: http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/dri-usb_b-lnx.html  You may have to restart the JTAG server. I think that would be  $ service jtagd restart Otherwise you might have to powercycle your computer after doing the steps above.  I think this was addressed in this thread also http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4348  Amol

Here's one of the better threads I've seen: 

 === http://www.ict.kth.se/courses/is1500/2011/swsetup/n2errors.html ===  UPDATE:  To sift through the stuff on this site, error 89 means you don't have the correct permissions to the JTAG device on your Linux box/VM. I added the following to my USB rules (read the multitude of posts on this topic, but pay attention to what I've done as well...yours could be slightly different): ===# USB-Blaster   SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster/%k" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster/%k" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster/%k"  # USB-Blaster II SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster2/%k" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster2/%k" ===  Cheers!

Thank you slacker, the usb rules you provided work fine with a 64-bit Fedora 19 setup! Problem was solved

The solution that had worked for me is as below:

1. Copy the file 51-usbblaster.rules (provided by this repository) to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules
2. Change the owner of this file to root (# chown root:root 51-usbblaster.rules)
3. Reboot your system

Content in 51-usbblaster.rules:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666"
