Honored ContributorI like having the system ID enabled since it gives me a quick indication when things go bad… and if it’s gone bad I don’t want to spend time looking any further.
I haven’t entirely solved this issue yet, but it’s not nearly as frequent since I fixed an electrical contention issue on my board. I was driving a signal off chip that goes to a multi-purpose pin on an external device. This multi-purpose pin starts out as a chip enable so the FPGA starts out driving the signal, and then my code would reconfigure the device to make the pin an output. The timing of this sequence is important since I have to drive the FPGA pin while it’s a chip enable, then disable my driver as the external chip switches the pin to an output function. I believe my timing was off and I continued to drive the FPGA pin while the external chip was also driving the multi-purpose pin on its end. Once I straightened this out, the “The system console model is invalid. Cannot launch” problem seems to have abated. When it does come up, refreshing the jtag connection works most times. Thanks for the feedback
