I have install Soc EDS v14 on centos 7, and run as doc ug_soc_eds.pdf secion “Getting Started with Bare-Metal Debugging” introduce, but when I Select Run > Debug Configurations and Click Browse to select the USB Blaster connection(refer to 4-29 steps 3 in pdf),it show "One entry must be selected"

And soon show blew information:

But in fact the variable have been set before start eclips: 

https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9231 https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9232  

And I can down load data with quartus ii, so why Soc EDS cann't connect to usb blaster? 

 

 

 

I install the softeware on windows 7 and avoid this problem, if someone have success run soc eds on linux? which distribution and version do you use?

On http://www.altera.com/download/os-support/oss-index.html is enumerated only "Windows 7", "Windows 8", "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5", "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6", "Windows Server 2008 R2 (4)". 

On http://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/documentation/gsrd131gettingstartedyocto also "CentOS 6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04". 

If try to reinstall SoC EDS, problem continues ? 

Quartus Programmer and Signal Tap also failed ?

Good! Altera Guru, QuaPro and SigTap uses the same libjtag_client.so for work ? 

"Failed to load libjtag_client.so" may be on small rights of .so: if need be executable +x ? 

May try 3 other versions of SoC EDS ver 13.*, its .so is worked ? 

Then will copy good .so to 14.0 directory... 

May be extended diagnostic of loading .so in any console with keys ? 

 

P.S. And may use many USB-Blasters and connect to board in round-robin -- if some by work ? :) 

In SoC kit present also 2nd USB-Blaster-connector (left-down corner) for external JTAG-device, with connecting to it 1st is automatic off. May try this way.

Try to create shell environment variable like: 

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QUARTUS_ROOTDIR}/linux32/ 

 

where QUARTUS_ROOTDIR points to <installation>/quartus
