Re: Accessing code on a Max10 FPGA
I'm aware that FS2 is no longer in business and that the associated software does not work on newer computers. What I'm attempting to do is replicate the functionality of the old code using the most recent methodology. We have tcl code that uses the system-console.exe to perform the actions needed but my current problem is that those methods use the master_write_32, master_read_32 functions pretty extensively. The arguments are "service-path", "address", and "values". The service paths were being populated by the "get_service_paths master" command, but currently when the device is plugged in we see the devices in "get_service_paths devices" but nothing when we try "get_service_paths master" which causes none of our functions to work. I'm trying to debug why my master service paths are populating. I have access to the .pof and .sof files but nothing else, and I'm trying to figure out what to ask for from our development team and when I get it where to check to ensure that the master services are initiated.Re: Accessing code on a Max10 FPGA
No I don't want to close this ticket yet. My master service still isn't functioning and its the core of my code's functionality. I have the .pof and .sof files but I'm not sure how to debug why this master service isn't functioning. Is it possible to debug it with just these files or do I need the project file? Does the master service need to be instantiated correctly before those files are compiled or is there a way to initialize it from the tcl console?Re: Accessing code on a Max10 FPGA
The library and common tcl files I've been given to work with use the master_write_32, master_read_32 functions pretty extensively. The arguments are "service-path", "address", and "values". The service paths were being populated by the "get_service_paths master" command so at least according to the way the existing code architecture is written it seems pretty important. Our goal isn't to reprogram or blank the device, but to communicate with it once it has already been programmed using read and write functions. All of our existing code revolves around communicating with the fpga using these master write and read functions. I was trying to not throw the figurative baby out with the bath water because I've been having issues getting their code to work, but if there are other read/write methods I'm not considering that don't rely on the master service path then I'm all ears.Re: Accessing code on a Max10 FPGA
We are using a Windows environment and using the Quartus system-console to run tcl scripts written by our development department. There are .pof and .sof files that we've used to configure the FPGA, but the script relies on the "get_service_paths master" command to populate the global variables used to connect to the fpga, yet the command returns no master service paths. The device service paths show up just fine so we know the jtag connection between the computer and the fpga is functioning, but not the master ones. From my understanding the .pof and .sof files are just used to configure the jtag connection, not to set up services but I could be mistaken. We're not sure how to debug why the master services are appearing when we use the "get_service_paths" proceedure is used. Any assistance would be appreciated.Re: get_service_paths yields no service paths
I went into Qsys and added a JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge and saved the test.qsys file with my other quartus files, but when I went to test "get_service_paths master" I still get nothing. Should I have my .qsys file saved somewhere else? Is there something else I'm missing?
