Quartus II Web Edition 10.1 Linux + Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 + USB Blaster

Altera_Forum · ‎01-16-2011

Hello!

I have problems with programmes, since Ubuntu 10.10 has no usbfs.

I found this soultion:

http lowerstrata blogspot com 2010 09 altera-quartus-ii-web-edition-100-with html

sudo mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus

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

After this, Quartus II see USB Blaster and I can choose it in programmer.

bash ./jtagconfig
/home/s/t/altera/10.1/quartus/adm/qenv.sh: line 109: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US): No such file or directory
1) USB_Blaster 
  Unable to lock chain (Insufficient port permissions)

USB_Blaster [USB 5-1.1] - good, but "Unable to lock chain (Insufficient port permissions)"...

So, I'm unable to use it...

since I have 64-bit OS (Quartus II working great, because I have ia32 libs), I used linux32 script - no luck

sudo bash ./jtagconfig - same...

You don't want to do it that way. Follow the advice of Tristan in this (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5893) thread instead.

That has worked for me for some time now. You do have to edit the jtagd binaries (32 and 64 bit) after every new install, but it's not that hard to do....

Good luck!

Read Tristan's first post on page 2 (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5893&page=2).

You may have to monkey around with the udev rules or just manually change permissions on your USB blaster "/dev" device to get rid of the insufficient permissions issue, but this is key method to follow when your kernel no longer supports usbfs.
