 Now you have installed the Altera Software!
+== USB Blaster==
+For getting access on a FPGA you need to install the Altera USB Blaster. On Ubuntu you just have to add these three lines
+  # ALTERA USB Blaster
+  mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus
+  ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices /proc/bus/usb/devices
+to the file /etc/rc.local. Pay attention that the line with "exit 0" is below these lines.
+After saving this changes (you need to be root) you have to make this file executable. Enter
+  sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
+in a terminal. After a reboot the USB Blaster should be available in the Altera Software!
