Turn on and connect the SoCKit board. Check that the Altera “USB Blaster” appears:

$ lsusb | grep 09fb:
Bus 001 Device 036: ID 09fb:6810 Altera

If it is not listed, the board may not be powered on or the jtag usb port (nearest the corner)
may not be connected to the workstation. Note that your bus and device number may differ.
Check the permissions on the port, based on the bus and device you saw above:

$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/036
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 35 Jan 17 21:16 /dev/bus/usb/001/036

Finally, verify that the jtag daemon is able to locate the hardware:

$ jtagconfig
1) CV SoCKit [1-6.2.3]
02D020DD 5CSEBA6(.|ES)/5CSEMA6/..
4BA00477 SOCVHPS

Thee most common problem is incorrect permissions (no world write) on the device, e.g.,

$ jtagconfig
No JTAG hardware available

$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/036
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 35 Jan 17 21:16 /dev/bus/usb/001/036

$ sudo killall jtagd

$ lsusb | grep 09fb:
Bus 001 Device 041: ID 09fb:6810 Altera

$ sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/041

$ jtagconfig
1) CV SoCKit [1-6.2.3]
02D020DD 5CSEBA6(.|ES)/5CSEMA6/..
