Adding the Terasic USB Blaster to Ubuntu 13.10

When I tried to use my Terasic USB Blaster with Altera Quartus 13.0 tonight, the device was detecting but the JTAG programmer would report "fail" instantly upon attempting to program.

The problem was to do with the permissions device, and the following should fix that:

  • Create a new file called "terasic-usb-blaster.rules" in the "/etc/udev/rules.d/" folder
  • Simply add the following line to the otherwise empty file:
ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666"
Thanks to http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~laforest/USB-Blaster-Debian.html for explaining this solution!
