New ContributorWhat is the difference between the numbers [3-3] vs [1-10.2] after the USB Blaster II banner?
I am having an issue with a customer not able to load a CMF file into an Agilex FPGA. When customer launches jtagconfig -d, they banner they get with USB Blaster II launch is:
USB Blaster II [3-3]
Whereas when I run jtagconfig -d, the USB blaster II banner I get is:
USB Blaster II [1-10.2]
Regular ContributorHi, may i know how do you load the CMF? You using command line in command shell or quartus programmer? Can you share me the steps?
New ContributorHi,
Thank you for your response.
I was loading the CMF using System Console using command from TCL script: debug_send_bitstream_with_fuse_blown <cmf file>.
I was finally able to use the Quartus programmer command line to convert a CMF to RBF file and load the RBF file using command line quartus_pgm. Since the RBF included the CMF, I was finally successful in loading the desired CMF for the customer.
I also found out that the numbers in square brackets in the USB Blaster II [3-3] represents the USB Cable port that the Blaster is connected to.
At this point, I can close this question. However there are still open questions on the System Console Software version between what I am using vs the customer since we were not able to load the CMF using System Console that customer was using but I was able to load at my end.
Regular ContributorIs the quartus version used the same between you and ur customer? Is there any error messages when you run the TCL script?
New ContributorThe Quartus versions are exactly the same. The error message indicates the loader timed out. It loads 90% of the bytes/words and then times out. I don't have a screenshot of the exact error message unfortunately.
Regular ContributorIf possible, please add some delay in your TCL in the interval of the command. Sometimes it might cause issue because of this.
