Wrong entry on Jtag chain shown via BTS

Hello -

I think somehow manged to screw up an entry on the Jtag Chain shown when I run the Board Test System (BTS) on my Stratrix 10 development board.

My development board is the Stratix 10 GX FPGA development kit. It is the L-tile variant, DK-DEV-1SGX-L-A. I expect the FPGA part number to be 1SG280LU2F50E2VG. Yet the Board Test System main window shows something like: "1SG280HN(2S2|3S2)|.."

In other words, the FPGA part number seems wrong, and seems to be shown as a regular expression. In a sense, it's close, but I'm concerned about the "280HN" section, where I would have expected at least "280LU".

See the attached screenshot for what I am seeing from the Board Test System main dialog.

My questions are:

1. How can I reset or fix my Jtag chain if it's not correct?

2. Where is Jtag chain information stored in the Quartus software, programmer software, etc.?

Best Regards,

    Hi JSambrook_CSSI_FPGA,


    • What version of Quartus you're using?
    • Did you select the default BTS design? Did you select and load the BTS example design from BTS software?
    • May I know, have you change/program the default Stratix 10 pof design? For instance : Reprogram the Stratix 10 with your own design
    • Have you tried to use the auto detect feature in Quartus Programmer and check the detected device?

    1. How can I reset or fix my Jtag chain if it's not correct?

    2. Where is Jtag chain information stored in the Quartus software, programmer software, etc.?

    • You may check it in Tools ➤ JTAG Chain Debugger


    Regards,

    Fakhrul

      Hello Fakhrul -

      I did get past this problem. I found I could use "autodetect" to detect the JTAG chain. It would contain two devices.

      The first device was the 5M2210. The second device was an FPGA with the wrong part number.

      I just went ahead and added my bitstream anyhow, leaving now three devices in the chain. I deleted the bogus one

      and was able to program the development board with my bitstream.

      Thanks for your help, you can close this issue.
