Configuração da USB para programação do FPGA via JTAG

UBUNTU

Antes de poder programar um FPGA usando a interface JTAG é necessário Configurar a USB Blaster para a programação JTAG.

O procedimento abaixo é usado nos kits:

• DE2-115, DE0-Nano, DE0 da Altera
• Mercurio IV da Macnica

Executar como root os seguintes comandos para criar o arquivo altera-usb-blaster.rules na pasta /etc/udev/rules.d

gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/altera-usb-blaster.rules 

Com o conteúdo:

ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666"
ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="666"
ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="666"
ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="666"
ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="666"

Reinicie o computador.

Para verificar se a JTAG está configurada corretamente, conecte a placa usando a USB e ligue-a.

cd /opt/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin
./jtagconfig

Se estiver OK, deve aparece alguma mensagem do tipo:

1) USB-Blaster [3-3]

Se permanecer a mensagem abaixo, desligue o kit, ou retire o cabo USB, e reconecte ou ligue novamente o kit.

1) USB-Blaster variant [3-3]
 Unable to lock chain (Insufficient port permissions)

Caso não esteja OK, aparecerá:

No JTAG hardware available

WINDOWS

Quando alguém precisar, escrever o procedimento.

Installing Altera usb Blaster Driver

• Plug in the power and turn on your development board
• Plug in your Development board or USB Blaster device into a free USB port
• In Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 go to Start and search for “device manager”
• Click on Device manager in the search results

• In device manager find the item list “other devices”
• Expand that list and there should be “Altera USB-Blaster”
• Right click on Altera USB-Blaster
• Choose Update Driver Software...
• In the popup choose “Browse my computer for driver software”
• Click Browse and navigate to the altera folder C:\altera
• Make sure the “Include Subfolders” is checked
• Click next

• If successful windows will say “Windows has successfully updated your driver software” Click close
• Back in device manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers there should be the Altera USB-Blaster
• Close out of Device manager and you are now ready to program your Development board.

Note: On the DE2-115 there are two USB ports but the one closet to the edge is the USB blaster

Note: It is best to NOT use USB ports that have active power or an “always on” feature as these ports can damage your development board or USB blaster chip
