Dear MDiet4,

I am sincerely sorry for the delay in response due to recent workload.

Glad to know that after reducing the TCK speed from 24M to 16M and its works. 😊

Regarding your question below:

How is it possible that the timing isn’t met with the same set-up? Was my Computer getting faster so that USB-Blaster II comes in trouble?

Ans: I believed its due to the hardware variable itself. Even with same setup, but still the PC used is different. The USB-Blaster/JTAG could be operating with different speed in different PC. So, what we recommend customer is always tune the TCK speed. If 16M doesn't work then try with 6M. Plus, we didn't faced any issue launching EMIF toolkit at our side with our setup.

Also, you mentioned that you can connect with 24M with Qsys and system console opened. I am sorry but this seems like doesn't make sense to me as I don't see any relationship between the EMIF toolkit performance with this 2 platforms mentioned (qsys and system console opened).

Hope this clear.

Thanks

Regards,
