1.6. Installing the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II Driver on Linux Systems

For Linux, the download cable supports Red Hat Enterprise 5, 6, 7, and above.

To access the cable, the Quartus® Prime software uses the built-in Red Hat USB drivers, the USB file system (usbfs). By default, root is the only user allowed to use usbfs. You must have system administration (root) privileges to configure the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II drivers.

  1. Create a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules and add the following lines to it. (The .rules file may already exist if you have installed an earlier version.)
    1. Red Hat Enterprise 6 and above, and Ubuntu 18, 20, and 22

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666"
      CAUTION:
      There should be only three lines in this file, one starting with a comment and two starting with BUS. Do not add extra line breaks to the .rules file.
  2. Complete your installation by setting up the programming hardware in the Quartus® Prime software. Go to the Setting Up the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II Hardware with the Quartus® Prime Software section.
