Why doesn't my USB Blaster work on RedHat Linux Enterprise 7 and above?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Linux*

    BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Quartus® Prime 16.0 and earlier do not support Red Hat Enterprise (RHE) 7 which requires an updated format for the udev rules for USB-Blaster and USB-Blaster II download cables.

    Resolution

    If you are using RHE 7 or above use the updated udev rules below in the  /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules file:
     

    # USB-Blaster

    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666"

    # USB-Blaster II
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666"

     

    This information will be added to a future release of the USB-Blaster II documention.
