Intel的PAC卡在开发过程中，使用remote signal tap进行时，在本地执行如下命令报错。

Hi ​JohnT,

​

finally I got it works now.now signaltap can remotely capture data now.

the reason is that

after I put 2 assignments into afu.qsf

set_global_assignment -name ENABLE_SIGNALTAP ON

set_global_assignment -name USE_SIGNALTAP_FILE "../../hw/par/A10/stp_basic.stp"

​

those above 2 assignmetn supposed be done by extra_tcl-0_stp.tcl

but if you check the path in extra_tcl-0_stp.tcl you will find the path is wrong

set_global_assignment -name USE_SIGNALTAP_FILE ../hw/par/A10/stp_basic.stp.

the correct one is

set_global_assignment -name USE_SIGNALTAP_FILE "../../hw/par/A10/stp_basic.stp"

​

the wrong one made stp file can not be included during the compilation, that is why stp always reported Can't find the instance. Download a design with SRAM Object File containing this instance.

that original extra_tcl-0_stp.tcl is provided by vendor, I have not changed it. that is root cause.

​

thanks for your help.

​

I think many other customer would duplicate same issue, if they follow the instruction from page 35 in chapter 6 AFU in-system debug of AFU Developer’s Guide for Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card.

thanks all your help.

Best regard

Jim
