Windows/Linux SignalTap not recognized

Hi,

We are experiencing a problem with Quartus 9.1 and SIgnalTap. I've search the forum and found nothing similar.

When we do SignalTap plus place&route on our 64-bits linux server, the generated assembler file works fine in the programmer on a Windows machine and the design is functional. But SignalTap is not recognizing his target like when you put a incoherent programming file and signaltap definition.

It seems there is something wrong between a SignalTap fit generated on a 64-bits Linux and SignalTap on a 32-bits Windows PC.

Have you experienced such a thing ?

    No specific error message. I get just the red thing telling you to reprogram the chip.

    Hi,

    maybe it sounds stupid, but are you sure that you use the newest stp-file ? Are the Linux and Windows versions really identical ? If yes, I would recommend to run a small testcase and check whether it behaves the same.

    Kind regards
