    Without the project design files, there's not much you can do.

That system is empty. To use the master service type, you have to connect the host (master) interface to other components in the system. You're just exporting that interface. What's it connected to?

Also, of course, you have to regenerate the system, recompile your Quartus project, and re-program the device.

    So to be clear, we received a board with the Altera chip on it which should have already been configured with the host (master) interface configured. After looking through the batch files we were given they only seem to establish the jtag connection but not upload any configurations to the chip. The fact that we aren't seeing the master service after the board is powered and the jtag connection is established means that we need to open the original project used to compile the fpga in the first place and diagnose what the problem is. Is there anyway to do that without the original project? Thanks for your help so far, this has been immensely useful.
