TRACE Debug on Cyclone V HPS - has anyone used DSTREAM

I am trying to use the TRACE Port peripheral on the HPS in a Cyclone V SE device. I cannot seem to get the TRACE signals coming out of the device properly to run the TRACE Capture using the DSTREAM ...

I have successfully used the DSTREAM external tracing. It was done on the Altera Cyclone V Development Kit, which uses 5CSXFC6D6F31C6N.

See the video at http://youtu.be/ncks4zuwrw0, maybe it can help.

Note that the Mictor connector has both the JTAG and the parallel tracing signals.

Also note that you need the Preloader to be ran before you can trace. That is because the Preloader configures the tracing pins as described in the hardware project.
