connecting SignalTap II & Matlab, Possibility?

--- Quote Start ---

Hello,

Is there anyway obtain data from JTAG USB to Matlab?

I used signal tap II, I's fine to debug on-chip, but I don't like its graphical display so much.

any idea?

There might be but I find it not necessary since I can readily convert signaltap data(signed) to text file then read that in matlab.

In matlab all you need is chop off the header text from signaltap text file then type:

data = load('filename.txt');

this creates matrix of all data and so choose your columns e.g.

data1 = data(:,3); %all elements of column 3

It's still interesting if being able to see signal real time.

I'm thinking to use Instrument Control toolbox.

Is there any option to create driver and capture data from usb port when it's transporting to signal tap II GUI?

By the way, can you show me how to convert signal tap data to text file, please!

set data to signed then right click on window of signaltap and click on "generate list file".

(or use signaltap menu)

The file contains header describing signal names including clock. You can delete the header but make note of column number of each signal.

You may also temporarily delete unwanted signals before converting to text.
