EMIF Calibration Debug Toolkit "Firmware is not done running last command" error

We recently upgraded our Quartus Linux machine from Ubuntu version 18.04 to 20.04. Now the EMIF Debug Toolkit returns the following errors when trying to re-calibrate. Used to work fine under Ubunt...

Hello RichardWH,


Thank you for submitting your question in Intel Community.

I am Adzim will assist you on this case.


Do you have more than one device on JTAG chain in this case?

If so try to reduce the number of devices and slightly increase the JTAG frequency.


Which device that you used?

Are you using your custom board or Intel development kit?


Regards,

Adzim

    Hi Adzim,

    There is only the one Stratix-10 device connected to the JTAG.

    Quartus doesn't seem to allow me to increase the JTAG frequency beyond the default 24MHz to make it faster, I have tried with the "Auto-adjust frequency at chain scanning" on and off.

    The device we are using is the Stratix 10 - 1SX280HU2F50E1VG.

    The problem is with the device on our custom product which only has a single Stratix-10 device. We are attempting to test with the Quartus EMIF IP generated "ed_synth" example design.

      Hi Adzim,

      Updating that it seems to be working now if I actually reduce the JTAG clock frequency from the default 24 MHz to 6 MHz (doesn't work with 16 MHz either). Revealing other issues but I'll leave that for another report when I have more information.
