I bought a cyclone II EP2C20Q240 , and i want to download a simple program in it by JTAG, what do i need? 

NOW ,i have connect the vcc=3.3v and GND to the chip,the 50MHZ crystal is also ok; And other connections follow the configuration handbook at page 670 JTAG configuration of a sigle device using a download cable ; 

But why i can't download the program to the FPGA by Quartue II ? 

anyother connections do i need? 

Thanks for your help! 

Here is my circuit;

Core voltagle? PLL (if used) voltage? IO voltage?

I usually use QuartusII under Linux, errors like this are commons if you do not have the permissions on the /proc/bus/usb/ directory, in particular to the one containing the USB Blaster device.

I think the quartus II is ok. Because when i download the program on DE2 by usb , it runs well. But I'm not sure about the connections of the cycloneII . All i did is just connect the source, 50MHZcrystal, and the jtag configuration as followed.
