Hi @Sijith,


Sorry for the late reply. I was doing some experiments from my side. Here are some suggestions on the message "Program the device to continue":


  1. Reconnect the JTAG connection to the board and ensure the board is powered on when running the Signal Tap.
  2. Make sure the OPN that matches the board is set correctly in the Quartus Prime Pro software (Assignments > Device).
  3. In the Signal Tap Window, check the Device connection and make sure it is connected to the right hardware device. You can click on the "Scan Chain" to select the correct device.
  4. After you compile the project, make sure you open the signal tap file that is included in the "Files" section of the Project Navigator.
  5. Check the QSF (Quartus Setting File) of the project to make sure the signal tap is enabled and the signal tap file is included in the QSF:

set_global_assignment -name SIGNALTAP_FILE stp_name.stp

set_global_assignment -name ENABLE_SIGNALTAP ON

set_global_assignment -name USE_SIGNALTAP_FILE stp_name.stp


You may include both signals in an instance to observe their behaviors.


You can set SW[0] = 1 before or after running the Signal Tap, as the Signal Tap will capture the live signal behavior.


Thanks.
