System-Console I2C - master service cannot be found - Arria V

1. Try to create a Tcl variable, lets say in this case, m_path

% set m_path [get_service_paths master]

2. Claim the master service to allow exclusive access to the master device:

% set c_master [claim_service master $m_path ""]

With the service claimed as the c_master variable, we can now use c_master to read and write any agent that's connected to the componenet.

3. Now try to perform read from and write to a component.

a. Type master_read_memory $c_master 0 32

b. Type master_write_memory $c_master 0 {0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10}

c. Type master_read_memory $c_master 0 32

Let me know if it helps.

From your message provided:

% get_service_paths {master}

{/devices/5AGT(FD3H3|MD3G3)|5AGXBB3D4|..@1#USB-1/(link)/JTAG/(110:132 v1 #0)/phy_0/master} {/devices/5AGT(FD3H3|MD3G3)|5AGXBB3D4|..@1#USB-1/(link)/JTAG/(70:34 v3 #0)/nios2_0}

% claim_service master {/devices/5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)|EPM2210@2#USB-1} m

error: Could not claim service at /devices/5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)|EPM2210@2#USB-1: The master service cannot be found at /devices/5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)|EPM2210@2#USB-1

while executing

"claim_service {master} {/devices/5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)|EPM2210@2#USB-1} {m}"

while executing

"claim_service master {/devices/5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)|EPM2210@2#USB-1} m"

The master paths only list out:

1. {/devices/5AGT(FD3H3|MD3G3)|5AGXBB3D4|..@1#USB-1/(link)/JTAG/(110:132 v1 #0)/phy_0/master}
2. {/devices/5AGT(FD3H3|MD3G3)|5AGXBB3D4|..@1#USB-1/(link)/JTAG/(70:34 v3 #0)/nios2_0}

How do you connect to a master {/devices/5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)|EPM2210@2#USB-1} when it is not there in the first place?

Could you check that you are using the MAX V device in your project and run compilation prior system console?

It is not part of the design, no. I didn't believe it had to?

I want to program the Si5338 and change the clock frequency, like the Intel Board Test System (BTS) does.

My understanding is the BTS is using the Max V to access the Si5338 via I2C protocol. Is this not correct? How does the BTS access the Si5338?

The System console is a tool to access the Platform Designer system integration tool to perform low-level hardware debugging of your design, as well as identify a module by its path, and open and close a connection to a Platform Designer module.

Thus, it will depend on the PD system design that you used to program (.sof) the board.

I am not familiar with BTS but I think this is how you change the clock frequency in BTS?
