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 ...

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.
