Today we receive a new USB Blaster, the latest version from Intel, I'll make tests with it. Yesterday I made tests with the old one from terrasic and got the following result:

Then I made tests with a Segger J-Link J-TAG interface and its corresponding J-Link Commander app. This test has been performed with a 4MHz TCK clock and I got the same result on TDO: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFD55 while scanning the instruction register.

SUMMARY: two custom boards in our lab show the same behavior, two complete different tools also show the same results, TCK frequency has no influence to the measured results.

I think the HPS J-Link is not working in our setup.

best regards

Thom
