So, I have decided to continue further using my windows desktop, still unable to configure the USB blaster on my Ubuntu laptop. I will put my first VHDL code on my github profile.

Here are some images of my first programs. HelloWorld, using the timer and counting up in binary on the FPGA. I am working from this tutorial to light up some LED’s and get an initial feel for the QuartusII IDE. I am needing to use the web edition, vs 13 because it is free and works with the cycloneII chip.
and the code instructions for the PWM
