Hi,

Signal tap is the only way to read chip ID It is used to capture the response obtained from Mailbox Avalon ST IP and then capture the chip ID. We have a video which might be more helpful for you to see the steps to obtain chip ID: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ng9p0uK9zU

Hi,

Video we have learned.In the video, the mailbox ip is not directly connected to the signal tap. Connected with user logic.

Our idea is to read the chip id from the mailbox and write it into the register, and then read it out through the pice. User logic is written by ourselves.this way is not allowed? Must add signal tap to connect?

thanks
