Intel Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit: BTS cannot detect device

[Shihang]

Hi,

I'm running through the user guide of Intel Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit. When launching the BTS (user guide sec. 4), it reports "Error when scanning hardware - no devices!". However, Quartus was able to detect the board, and I have programmed the board with a sof file before launching BTS (user guide sec. 3).

Context:

System: Linux 5.15

Error output from BTS:

****************************************
* BOARD TEST SYSTEM *
****************************************

Board Test System starting...
ES2 Prism: Error - GLX extension is not supported
GLX version 1.3 or higher is required
Success!

Thanks in advance.

I figured out that the cause is BTS didn't know where the Quartus installation was. Setting QUARTUS_ROOTDIR fixed it.

According to the BTS's README, opening Quartus should've configured QUARTUS_ROOTDIR directly. That was not the case on my server. I am using Quartus Prime Pro 24.1.
