First of all, where is the Signal Tap instance located, in the static region or in a PR region? If it's in the static region, there shouldn't be an issue, so I'm assuming it's in a PR region. That being said, you can download a more recent version of the Programmer from the Download Center that allows you to choose the bridge index, which might be what you need to do.
I'm presuming that if Signal Tap is in a PR region that you have added the debug host and agent bridge IP appropriately to the PR region and the static region.
Yes I am trying to tap signals from the PR region only. To do so, I have instantiated the agent and host IP pair in the static and PR regions (I followed AN845).
About the Quartus version I use for debugging: you are right it is quite old. However, I have Quartus lite 20.1.1 installed on the remote workstation and its Signal Tap window does not show the "Bridge Index" entry either (even if I explicitly open the PR revision's .stp file). Hence my question about the Pro vs Lite versions.
I can still try and install it on the lab's PC (I have to update at some point anyway): maybe a working JTAG chain is needed for the entry to appear.
In any case, thank you for answering.
