Occasional Contributorwhat the best way to send data from FPGA to PC by JTAG communication?
Hi,
What is the best way to send data from FPGA to PC by JTAG Communication?
I ask about JTAG because I have no more free communication line left and I need information to be transmitted at a fast rate (above 3MHz).
Prefers a solution without use of NIOS.
Also, which tool in Quartus is recommended for reading data from JTAG?
Thank
Hi Amir,
You could use System Console or a JTAG bridge. These designs take advantage of Platform Designer and don't require Nios.
Link to JTAG Bridge. It's on pages 57 and 149. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_embedded_ip.pdf

Amir3Following the previous question, I will detail the intention -
I have a list of registers in the FPGA and I want to extract data from them at a fast rate (above 3MHz). This means that the data I have selected will be sent permanently until some stop conditions are reached.I am currently able to pull the data from the "jtag to avalon master bridge" in the System Console by commanding "master_read_32 $claim_path".
