Wrapping this up, although I might edit a bit more detail into my OP to cover installation of 10.1. I) devices, but don't try # to hack things by symlinking 14.1's jtagd into 10.1's bin directory. # 14.1 appears to still be able to program Cyclone (i.e. As soon as you # start it disable all Internet access, otherwise it will bomb after a few minutes # when it finds it can't 'phone home'. usr/local/altera/14.1 without trouble, but it # assumes the existence of libpng12, ~/adm/qenv.sh and udev rules as configured # above. # Edit /usr/local/bin/quartus10 to contain #!/bin/sh export PATH=/usr/local/altera/10.1/quartus/bin/quartus:$PATH /usr/local/altera/10.1/quartus/bin/quartus # Create a file like /etc/udev/rules.d/les SUBSYSTEM='usb', ATTR='6810', MODE='0666' udevadm control -reload-rules & udevadm trigger # However do not expect 10.1's JTAG to work, jtagd is buggy (I speculate that # this is the point at which Altera attempted to move away from the deprecated # usbfs API and didn't quite get it right). export PATH=/usr/local/altera/10.1/quartus/bin:$PATH quartus_sh -qinstall -qda /home/markMLl/Quartus-II/devices/subscription/cyclone.qda # I've not had this running long emough to verify that those are permanently # installed rather than being a 30-day evaluation. adding grep's -m 1 option, the | uniq could probably be discarded. export QTB_CPU_FREQ=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m 1 'cpu MHz' | cut -c 12-18 | uniq` i.e. install # Both above installed into /usr/local/altera/10.1 Create ~/adm/qenv.sh QENV_STATUS=0 # Edit /usr/local/altera/10.1/quartus/adm/qenv.sh to look like cpumodel=`grep -m 1 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | sed -e's/model name.*: //g' | uniq`. MarkMLl A FEW DAYS LATER: for the sake of Google et al., appended is a fairly detailed blow-by-blow account of getting Quartus v10.1 and v14.1 operational on current Linux (Debian 'Buster') x86_64).Ĭode: # As a prerequisite to both 10.1 and 14.1, make sure that libpng12 # is available from e.g. on the board it's a bit friendlier towards traditional electronics design than the newer boards which only have headers. But I'd still like to get this going if possible, since with the LEDs etc. And yes, I know I should be looking for newer hardware and am. I'm not sure I've got the energy to start messing around with intermediate versions. I think that in the case of Linux the USB Blaster problem is that 'Lenny' has usbfs but no libudev, while 'Buster' has abandoned usbfs. if you don't do that things will only run on the rare occasion that the OS thinks that every CPU is running at precisely the same speed. Finally, edit the supplied global qenv.sh and add -m 1 to grep in place of piping the result through uniq. which are only in the subscription section of the DVD.

It's necessary to create a local ~/adm/qenv.sh containing QENV_STATUS=0 for each user, then to run a manual command to install the required devices.

Altera quartus ii legacy driver#

Does anybody have a driver of equivalent age to Quartus=II v10? In slightly more detail: I couldn't get the recommended Linux install program to work, the 'install' program did with caveats. Short question: I've got what purports to be the right XP driver from, it loads correctly in response to the USB Blaster being plugged in but Quartus can't see it.

Again, I can't get the USB Blaster to work. I've also got it running on both Debian Lenny (i386) and Buster (amd64), I had to jump through a few hoops since it became quite obvious that Altera hadn't tested it.

Altera quartus ii legacy software#

I've got the software running on Windows XP except for the interface to the USB Blaster. newer 'free' versions don't support designing for hardware that old, but they might support programming old chips if the design has been completed elsewhere.

Altera quartus ii legacy plus#

I find that I've got an 'educational' Cyclone (not -II etc.) board like this knocking around, plus a DVD with Quartus-II 10.1.
