Since v4.2.0, the firmware fixes a bug, which would not let the board to be programmed in High-speed on Linux and Mac OS systems.The cookies we use can be categorized as follows: Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of or specific functionality offered. If you have problem programming your board, verify that you have the last firmware version (look at this page). You can follow the same steps as described in the On Windows or On Linux sections for Quartus and drivers installation. If you are on Mac OS, a solution is to use a virtual machine running Windows or Linux. quartus/bin/jtagd: 59: ARGV=/home/user/.nf: not found quartus/bin/jtagd: 59: ARGV=-config: not found quartus/bin/jtagd: 59: ARGV=-user-start: not found Sudo sed -i 's/\/proc\/bus\/usb\/devices/\/dev\/bus\/usb\/devices\d0/g' /quartus/linux/jtagd Note that these commands will create a backup copy of the JTAG server ( jtagd.bak). If you have a doubt, it won't harm to patch both files.īefore executing the commands, replace by your installation path (e.g., /opt/altera/10.0). Select the set corresponding to your system. There are 2 sets of commands, one for 32-bit OS and the other one for 64-bit. Now we will use sed to replace the paths that the JTAG server is looking at.
This soft link will disappear on reboot, so if you don't want to type it every time, add this line in a script or in your /etc/rc.local file (without the sudo). Sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices It is generally found in C:\altera\="6001", MODE="0666"įor older Quartus versions than 11.0, we need to patch the JTAG server to look for devices in /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices instead of /proc/bus/usb/devices, and in /dev/bus/usb/././ instead of /proc/bus/usb/././.Īs the former won't fit in the string placeholder of the binary file, we choose to create a soft link. Select the usb-blaster folder from your Quartus install. Windows should ask you for the location of the drivers.
If you are updating a previous version of Quartus II, do not forget to update the USB-Blaster driver accordingly or you may experience strange behavior from JTAG based features.
But before being able to program the board you will need to install the drivers. (No need to open the subscription page request).
