ARM DS5 debugger Access/Detection of CM55 on Agilex5 fpga device

Hi Tehjingy,

                    Thanks for u r suggestion. 

We have a few additional questions regarding the debug tools and licensing:

  1. For a Cortex-M55 soft macro integrated in Agilex 5 FPGA(without using the standard HPS processing system), which debug probe is officially recommended for use with the native JTAG connection?

                     a. Arm DSTREAM                                                                                                                   b. ULINK Pro                                                                                                                           c. DAPLink                                                                                                                               d. Ashling Probe                                                                                                                     e. Other supported probe

      2. We currently have an Arm DS license obtained through Intel/Altera with the              license notice: "For use with Intel or Altera devices only"                                             If we connect to the Cortex-M55 through a supported external debug                       probe and another JTAG port, will this existing license be sufficient?

Regards

Suresh

Hi Suresh430 

 

There is no officially recommended debug probe. As long as the probe supports the CoreSight DAP then it should work.

 

As for the licensing, I am not be the best person to advice on this but if you could contact your DFAE that help with the purchase, they would advise you on this.

    Hi Suresh430 

    Case 2 would be the route you should look at.

    The Virtual JTAG IP does not have the protocol to connect to the CoreSight DAP.
    If you would like to connect it through the Virtual JTAG IP you would need to create the "JTAG to Coresight bridge IP" which would connect the Virtual JTAG IP to the Coresight DAP, which is currently unavailable in the Catalog IP.
