UsbBlaster uneder Linux

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 I have a problem using my UsbBlaster under Linux. I actually have a ByteBlaster MV which works with both Quartus2 programmer and Nios2-IDE (nios2-download), under Windows and Linux. My UsbBlaster works perfectly under Windows too (Quartus2 and Nios2-IDE), but under Linux it only works for Quartus2, not for the Nios2-IDE. Isuppose it is corrrectly installed since Quartus2 can use it, but there is apparently a problem with nios2-download when reading the timestamp and ID... Here is what I get when I try a nios2-download first with the ByteBlasterMV  <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  [SOPC Builder]$ nios2-download --cable=1 --accept-bad-sysid sand1.elf -g Using cable "ByteBlasterMV [/dev/parport0]", device 2, instance 0x00 Processor is already paused Reading System ID at address 0x01180808: verified Downloaded 116KB in 4.3s (26.9KB/s) Verified OK Starting processor at address 0x010001C8[/b]  --- Quote End ---    and with the Usb-Blaster on the same system :  <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  [SOPC Builder]$ nios2-download --cable=2 --accept-bad-sysid sand1.elf Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB 3/2]", device 2, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: OK Reading System ID at address 0x01180808: does not match     ID value does not match: read 0x00001919; expected 0x39FF6718     Timestamp value does not match: image on board is older than expected     Read timestamp  1:43:04 2000/11/01; expected 17:02:12 2005/05/31 Warning: The software you are downloading may not run on the system which is currently configured into the device. Downloaded 116KB in 1.8s (64.4KB/s) Verifying 01000020 ( 0%) Verify failed Leaving target processor paused[/b]  --- Quote End ---    Does anybody know something about this strange behavior ?  Thanks in advance  pod
