New ContributorQsys On-chip memory access
Hi All,
We have Qsys design with JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge and On-chip memory targeted to MAX10 Dev Board.
Could not access memory through system console. seeing following error
SEVERE: master_read_memory: This transaction did not complete in 60 seconds. System Console is giving up.
Could access JTAG loopback, sample clock, sample reset from system console.
Any help will be really useful.
Thank you

Did you set up the master service path in System Console and claim the service? What are the commands you've issued in System Console?
anil_naikHi sstrell
Thanks for the Response
I have set the master service and claim the path. I have used below commands in system console also pasted response.
Using Max10M50DA dev kit.
Pin loc clock is M8 (25MHz)
Pin loc reset_n is D9

while executing
"master_read_32 $c_path $ocram 1"Thanks

Your $ocram Tcl variable becomes a string variable because of the "x", so that's probably why the command is failing. Just put the address itself in the master_read_32 command to test. If you're going to need a variable for this address in a script, you'll probably need to do some Tcl "finagling". I like the Tcl reference here: http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/index.html

Thanks for sharing Tcl reference.
I have tried with below command as well but still errored out
master_read_memory $c_path 0 32
Do we need valid quartus license for program and debug?
- sstrell
You don't need a license for this. Could the design be stuck in reset? You got 1 back from the jtag_debug_sample_reset command.
- anil_naik
Yes. I did get 1 back from jtag_debug_sample_reset command
I have pasted commands and responses below.

Changed the clk pin from 25MHz board clock to 50MHz clock.
Now able to read and write to memory
