New ContributorCopying here a known issue with Ubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.14 or newer), just in case anyone land here searching on this.
New ContributorHi @HRZ - thanks for still being an active member on these forums. lspci run after JTAG configuration and soft reboot does list a lot of intel devices (pci bridges, 10GigE controllers, "Sunrise Point-H" devices) - but nothing that looks to me like an FPGA accelerator board, just system devices. But it would be nice to know what it should show up as. I would hope its description isn't "memory controller", but who knows.
1 - I've done my best to follow AN807 to use jtagconfig and quartus_pgm to configure the Max 5 CPLD and the Arria FPGA. I've watched the behaviour of the on board LEDs and believe they are acting accordingly. No JTAG commands report errors. I've confirmed soft rebooting the machine as instructed isn't resetting the FPGA configuration (see earlier post).
2 - It is.
3 - The boards is on, LEDs are on, the JTAG chain is recognized. I've triple checked the switch positions against AN807. The 6 pin PCIe power connector is connected. I've used this exact PCIe slot with a Bittware Arria 10 accelerator board without issues (I'm booting from a different hard drive w/ a fresh install of Linux and Intel tools).
I agree that running aocl flash without the board being programmed correctly is pointless, which is why I've tried to run the diagnose and list-devices commands. aocl diagnose shows no devices attached for the a10_ref BSP. aocl list-devices shows the same.
I've seen and reviewed the linked thread, it doesn't seem that it provides a solution either. Some things it mentions:
1) Re-install the driver if you're moving from 16.1 to 17.1. - This is a fresh install of 17.1.2. Yes, I've followed the instructions in AN807 about installing the driver from an elevated terminal after configuring via JTAG.
2) bas/dash configuration - I'm on CentOS. I've confirmed that /bin/sh references /bin/bash
3) set the jtag to 6M again after the soft reboot. I've tried this, but not sure it matters since the root issue seems to be the board isn't recognized via PCIe.
Someone also mentions the lsmod command. I can see in my setup that lsmod does show the following:
Module Size Used by
aclpci_a10_ref_drv 41403 0
I'll also complain that thread is very difficult to follow as it was migrated to this forum from the far superior altera forum - all names were lost and now "Altera Forum" (Intel) shows up as the author for every post. So I'm not sure who posted what - but clearly I'm not the only one with this issue.
