Dear JohnT,

​

thanks for your suggestion, which is very useful.

just like you mentioned ,there is only 1 USB blaster connected to one of them, but I do not know how to match the physical card with PCIE bus number?

Is there any diagnosing program I can use to know which PCIE Pac CARD has USB connection, because server is in remote location, from phisical view I can not match PCIE BDF with specific card.

I have tried 2 diagnosing program nlb_3 and DMA_AFU for both these 2 cards, totally 4 test cases worked correctly, I guess that is because that examples running use PCIE to download gbs, and does not involve usb-JTAG.

​

thanks
