Fedora 12 USB_BLASTER error

[Altera_Forum]

Hi 

I'm trying out quartus v9.1 web edition for linux on fedora 12. So far so good. I can create a project both with quartus and the IDE.  The only problem I have is I cannot download my project to my NEEK bd.  Setting up the usb blaster is fine, the programmer hardware setup sees it fine, but when I load my file and hit start I get the following error "Error: Unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 89 Error: Operation failed"  anybody got this error?  help please, I have no idea what's going on. Thanks

ppitou, 

 The jtagd.pid file is generated by the script referred in that thread. You'd need to run the script with the 'start' option to generate that file. It's common operating procedure to do this for all "daemons/servers" on Linux/Unix systems.  This is beside the point, though, as you'd only _need_ to do this when you want jtagd "always on" persistence. If you just want to have 'jtagconfig' work successfully, then you need to focus on the udev permissions issue which is likely causing the "error 89" message.  You may also run into a usbfs (or lack thereof) issue in FC12. See this thread if you need to fix this as well: http://alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5893  Best Regards,  -slacker
