Why do I get the error “No JTAG hardware available” when running jtagconfig in Linux CentOS or Ubuntu?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Intel® Stand-Alone Programmer 10.23 (For Legacy Max+Plus® II Software)
  • Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    If the Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Software or the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™, was installed using the root account in CentOS or Ubuntu, the command jtagconfig may report “No JTAG hardware available” if run from a different account.  See example below.

    $ jtagconfig

    No JTAG hardware available

    Resolution

    Restart the jtag daemon using the following commands:

    $ sudo killall -9 jtagd

    $ sudo jtagd

     

    Confirm jtagconfig works correctly.  See example below.

    $jtagconfig
