JTAG .svf instructions descriptions

I want to program an 5M240ZT144 with an *.SVF file from in an embedded system.

The .svf generated from Quartus does a SiliconID Check and fails. I see in the file that it is done with other commands(0x203 followed by 0x205) than I expect from the documentation:

!CHECKING SILICON ID
!
!
!
SIR 10 TDI (203);
RUNTEST 93 TCK;
SDR 14 TDI (0111);
SIR 10 TDI (205);
RUNTEST 93 TCK;
SDR 16 TDI (FFFF) TDO (8232) MASK (FFFF);
SDR 16 TDI (FFFF) TDO (2AA2);
SDR 16 TDI (FFFF) TDO (4A82);
SDR 16 TDI (FFFF) TDO (8C0C);
SDR 16 TDI (FFFF) TDO (00C0);
!

From the Max V Handbook I expected to see in Table 6-1(part2) that the IDCODE instruction has value 0x006

Also the expected output values 0x8232, 0x2AA2, 0x4A82, 0x8C0C and 0x0C00 does not resemble the 0x020A50DD in the table below.

Can somebody please explain it, or is there a document somewhere describing the .SVF format and JTAG instructions used in the MAX V .SVF file?

Regards

      Hi.

      In Menu Assignments => Device => Device and Pin Options:

      Under category Programming Files; check box "Serial Vector Format File(.svf)"

      The compilation now generates an .svf file. File attached.

      Sorry, that line is "greyed out"... Why?

    May I know if you have add your sof or POF file into Quartus programmer? It need to have the same chain as what you are using in your board.

      Hi John.

      I tried a new approach of creating the .svf file:

      • I opened the Quartus Programmer window,
      • scanned the JTAG chain of my Arrow Max1000 board
      • assigned my .sof to the 10M08SAU169(only device in chain)
      • verified that it configured successfully
      • from the Programmer Window File menu, I chose "Create JAM, JBC, SVF or ISC file"
      • selected File Format=SVF, Operation=Program and hit OK.

      The new .svf was a little bit different, but still contained a lot of undescribed SIR commands like 201, 203 and 307...

...and so on.....

      I also tried the same with a Max V device, and got the same unknown commands...

      Maybe the documentation needs to be updated with correct commands?

    May I know how do you run the SVF file? What error are you observing?
