Hi,
I followed the instructions on the altera website to set the usb port settings in linux in the rules.d directory in order to run the usb blaster. That did not work and the access rights are not set. On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, the setting in the rules file 51-usbblaster.rules has to be
# Altera USB-Blaster for Quartus FPGA Software
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666"
# USB-Blaster II
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666"
I used that with a Altera DE1 board with on-board blaster and that worked.

Friedrich
