Hello Blair, It is hoped that the attached screen shot and "Info&Errors Messages" came through. Please advise if you need them resent or do you need any further information to resolve this issue which was first reported 01-23-2021 02:00 AM. Looking forward for your advice.

Hello, > Please try compiling and downloading the program. Please advise how to achieve this. > Yes, we do have access to the board and the Monitor Program, but we cannot reproduce this issue. This is good to know. It is much appreciated if you would share your project file, the assembly source files and specify which version of Quartus and "Intel FPGA Monitor Program" you were using, the steps you performed, the screenshots and the messages in the "Info & Errors" panel after the run. My project, "arm_de10_nano_asm.amp" contains two assembly programs: "simple_program.s" and "address_map_arm.s". When I run "Actions/Compile&Load" I got "Loading errors". Please find attached a screenshot and the "Info&Errors" messages. It looks like we went the full cycle, back to where we started with the subject line: "Could not query JTAG Instance IDs". Should I change the subject line again or we all know too well what the problems are? Regards, phiho19KViews0likes1CommentRe: FPGA Monitor Program 18.1 Tutorial: Could not query JTAG Instance IDs.

Hello, > Can you please share a screenshot of the Monitor Program after clicking okay to the "Download System - Partial Success" dialog box seen in the screenshot that you already posted? It looks like "Download System - Partial Success" was the last words from "Intel FPGA Monitor Program". Please find attached the requested screenshot, arm_de10_nano_asm-Mar-01-2021.jpg. > I am a member of the Intel FPGA Academic Program team which created the Monitor Program Just out of curiosity, do you or your department has access to a De10-Nano board and the "Intel FPGA Monitor Program" running on a computer with a USB port.

Hello, > 1) Sorry, the link got messed up (a ' was added at the end of the URL). https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/topics/fpga-academic/materials-tutorials.html Thank you, it works now. >1) To use the Monitor Program please remove any SD Card before turning the board on. I just took my FPGA card behind the back burner, dusting it off, removing the SD card, connecting all three micro/mini USB ports to my computer and power it up. > 3) I was not able to reproduce the issue. I do remember having to fix that issue in the past. I suggest having Quartus, the Monitor Program and your project all on the same drive, just to be safe. F:\de10-nano\Tutorials\FPGA_Monitor\18.1\ was moved to: G:\intel\de10-nano\Tutorials\FPGA_Monitor\18.1 On drive G: there are also these folders: G:\intel\FPGA\Lite\18.1\quartus G:\intel\FPGA\Lite\18.1\University_Program G:\intel\FPGA\Lite\18.1\University_Program\SD_Card_Images\DE10-Nano "Intel FPGA Monitor Program 18.1" was started and the project "G:\intel\de10-nano\Tutorials\FPGA_Monitor\18.1\arm\arm_de10_nano_asm.amp" was loaded. Please find attached the project file "arm_de10_nano_asm.amp", screen shot of this run "arm_de10_nano_asm-Feb-26-2021.jpg", and the Info&Errors message "arm_de10_nano_asm-Info&Errors-Feb-26-2021.txt" It was asked how should the USB ports on the FPGA card be connected to the computer but no answers were given so all of them were connected. maybe this is the reason for the failure? Maybe, Quartus and "Intel FPGA Monitor Program" must be installed to the default location on drive C: for "Intel FPGA Monitor Program" and the tutorial project must be at a specific location? I am also wondering why the "Intel FPGA Monitor Program 18.1" installation put "G:\intel\FPGA\Lite\18.1\University_Program\SD_Card_Images\DE10-Nano\DE10-Nano_UBoot_SD_Rev1.img" in a zip file under "G:\intel\FPGA\Lite\18.1\University_Program\SD_Card_Images\DE10-Nano" while no SD card should be inserted into the FPGA board. Thank you so much for you help. It is much appreciated. BTW, are you in the "Intel FPGA Monitor Program" team?

Hi, > Is the monitor program installed on a different drive versus the project which seems to be on the F: drive? > It may be that there is an issue with the monitor program handling of this scenario. It is assumed that you were able to reproduce the problem. Please confirm that you successfully finish the task with the project and the FPGA Monitor program on the same drive (which drive). Please also advise if you used the default boot micro SD card comes with the board or the SD card with boot image from the installation of the FPGA Monitor program and how did you connect the micro and mini USB ports to the computer.

Hello, <quote> For your second issue, the monitor program cannot be used when using an SD Card to boot linux. Either use the SD Card and boot linux, then connect to linux via the instructions in the tutorial "Use Linux on Terasic DE-Series Boards" (found on 'https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/topics/fpga-academic/materials-tutorials.html') or use the monitor program. </quote> You lost me here.

Greetings, Thank you so much for your help. Now that the team has your attention, would you please ask if they have any intention to update this tool, FPGA Monitor Program. Quartus latest version is now at 20.4 If no new release is planned, would they consider open source it under "altera-opensource" Best regards, phiho19KViews0likes2CommentsRe: FPGA Monitor Program 18.1 Tutorial: Could not query JTAG Instance IDs.

UPDATE with further info Dear Intel Community, The board is now run with the SD image coming with "FPGA Monitor Program 18.1" the contents described in the README.txt: "This SD card image contains the UBoot preloader and bootloader. The preloader initializes the hardware, then launches the bootloader. The bootloader looks at the FAT32 partition of the SD card, for the following files: fpga.rbf program.bin setup_environment.bin set_vbar.bin The fpga.rbf file is the FPGA programming file, generated by the Intel FPGA Monitor Program (or Quartus). The bootloader automatically programs the FPGA using this file. program.bin is the binary of the baremetal program to be executed. Upon programming the FPGA, the bootloader loads this binary into memory and executes it. setup_environment.bin is a file generated by the Intel FPGA Monitor Program. This file tells the bootloader some details about the program like the entry point to the program and whether to program the FPGA (not all projects use the FPGA). set_vbar.bin is a program that is executed by the bootloader before the user baremetal program. This program sets the vector base address register to correspond to the location of the vector table in the baremetal program. Note that as of 16.0, Intel FPGA Monitor Program forces the vector table to be at location 0x0 in memory." This exercise ended with a dialog box: "The system has been successfully downloaded onto the board, but HPS components could not be configured" The reasons for the failure: ARM_A9_HPS_arm_a9_0 will be halted upon running the preloader. Skip halting. ARM_A9_HPS_arm_a9_1 will be halted upon running the preloader. Skip halting. Halting operation timed out while halting Nios2_2nd_Core Failed to halt Nios2_2nd_Core Halting operation timed out while halting Nios2 Failed to halt Nios2 /usr/bin/bash: quartus_hps: command not found Timed out while waiting for preloader to finish Preloader failed to run. HPS components may not have been configured. Possible causes for the failure: 1. Linux SD card is inserted and Linux is running. 2. FPGA-side components are accessing HPS memory. The full contents of the "Info & Error messages" is appended below. I am looking forwards for your advice.
