NCONT ERROR in ACK for access 0 : ACK = 0x01 when trying to connect with Arm DS debugger through JTA

Hi, I am an embedded developer trying to help bring up a custom Arria 10 board. I can successfully load the SOF file to configure the FPGA using the Intel Quartus Prime Programming utility through a...

Hi Richard_P,


May I know is there any follow up from the previous comment?


Thanks.

    Hi Aik,

    1) Regarding the jtagconfig, yes it seems to be working fine. He is the output I get:

    $ jtagconfig
    1) USB-Blaster [USB-0]
    02E050DD 10AS066H(1|2|3|3E2|4|4E2)/..
    4BA00477 SOCVHPS

    Here is the output with the --debug option:

    $ jtagconfig --debug
    1) USB-Blaster [USB-0]
    (JTAG Server Version 20.1.0 Build 177 04/06/2020 SC Pro Edition)
    02E050DD 10AS066H(1|2|3|3E2|4|4E2)/.. (IR=10)
    4BA00477 SOCVHPS (IR=4)

    Captured DR after reset = (02E050DD4BA00477) [64]
    Captured IR after reset = (1551) [14]
    Captured Bypass after reset = (0) [2]
    Captured Bypass chain = (0) [2]

    2) The Quartus Programmer Utility detects both devices (see attached image).

    I can load the SOF through the JTAG port using Quartus Programmer to configure the FPGA without any problems (see attached image). But after that, when I try to use the quartus_hps utility to erase or program the flash I get the following error:

    $ quartus_hps -c 1 -o E

    Any ideas as to why the JTAG port to the FPGA seems to work just fine, but not to the HPS?

    Thanks for your help.
