18 years agoremote update debug with USB-blaster
Hello,
I am trying to debug a design with a remote update IP. I use the USB-blaster to debug but everytime after loading the design I loose the connection with USB-blaster: Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: FAILED Leaving target processor paused My guess that it isn't possible to used the USB-blaster with a remote-updated-IP because the USB-blaster will trigger a reconfiguration directely after configuration as it uses the reconfiguration pins. Is that correct? Did anyone ever used the USB-blaster to debug a design with remote_update IP??? Are that any special/hidden assignments, clock definitions, or anything else to be aware of for that? Are there particular ways to debug such a system? I am using the Cyclone3 NIOS development kit at the moment. Thanks, escraph
