Yes I have sourced the file from within SystemConsole under TCL console. I have tried to source the jtag_cmds_sc.tcl for the de2 and also bemicro but when then try to change the LEDs , I receive error : "Sorry, no master nodes found

error: can't read "jtag(master)": no such variable" .

I am looking at the System Console interactive session in Figure 13. Must I use these commands? I am just doing what is in Figure 14 , which is sourcing the tcl file and then trying to change LEDs etc.

I also use pin planner to assign the LED ports to actual pins on the cyclone IV. Is this necessary, because I don't see this in the notes? If that is the case , must I assign all the ports there, including tck,tdi,tdo,tms?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions, but we are determined to get it right ))

Cheers,

Paul
