Cyclone 10 GX External Memory Interface (EMIF) Toolkit Issue

Hello, I'm using the Quartus Prime Pro 20.4.0 and Cyclone 10 GX development board to debug the DDR3 memory using the EMIF Toolkit. I want to do this to prepare to do it in the custom board we made...

    Hi Adzim,

    I just found out the issue. It was because I didn't add an EMIF Debug Interface port in the IP parameters/Diagnostic tap. Sorry for missing this part.

    Thanks for your help and the quick support.

Hi Sulaiman,


Please verify that the project contains .qsf, .qpf and .sof files in the working directory.

These are minimum file set to run the EMIF Toolkit.

Also, please verify that the target board is reset.


Regards,

Adzim

    Hello Adzim,

    Thanks for your support, All mentioned files exist in the working directory.

    Also, I have tried while the board is in reset and not reset state. Although I suppose for the toolkit to work the board should not be in reset?

    Note: I'm using the generated example design with the Cyclone 10 GX EMIF preset applied. I only did pin assignments.

    BR,
