User Guide
To access the download cable, the Quartus II 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
USB-Blaster II download cable 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
USB-Blaster version.)
c
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 II software. Go to the “Setting Up the USB-Blaster II Hardware with the
Quartus II Software” section on the following page.
