Tutorial: Using the USB-Blaster as an SOPC/Qsys Avalon-MM master

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the information. But I think you are a few steps further then I am.

In the post of "November 2nd, 2012, 09:22 AM" I reported that ModelSIM is giving error's on the signals of the JTAG master.

I think I solved them by changes the "sopc_system_jtag_master_tb.do" file into

add wave -noupdate -divider {JTAG Master}# add wave -noupdate /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_write# add wave -noupdate /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_read# add wave -noupdate -radix hexadecimal /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_address# add wave -noupdate -radix hexadecimal /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_byteenable# add wave -noupdate -radix hexadecimal /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_writedata# add wave -noupdate -radix hexadecimal /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_readdata# add wave -noupdate /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_waitrequest# add wave -noupdate /sopc_system_jtag_master_tb/dut/the_jtag_master/master_readdatavalid

When I compare the bfm simulation and this jtag simulation they are comparable. See also the attached modelsim files of the jtag simulation. It shows the complete names as well as the values.

Your hint to look at the VTAP location points me in the exact location to see the similar picture of figure 7 on page 18 of your document, for quartus 10.1. Thanks for that.

However...sorry for being such a newbie... I'm missing the point your are trying to make in par 3.5.3. on page 17 and the figure on page 18. I try to understand the text, but this is higher science for me.

Rgds,
