New ContributorPower Monitor is not working on Stratix 10
Hello,
I am trying to measure the power consumption of a design in my FPGA device using the Power Monitor utility that came with Board Test System. However, when I open it I get the following message:
""
Please check with the following methods:
-Ensure your computer is connected to the right board with USB cable.
-Type "jtagconfig --debug" in NIOS command shell, ensure both system MAX and FPGA are on JTAG chain.
-Restart this application.

And when I checked the log file of the bts program I found the following:

Note that the board I am using is from Terasic DE10-PRO SX
How can I solve the problem?

Hi Alhussain,
Thank you for your verification on the status with the latest version of Quartus.
I really regret that the issue is still there.
One thing you can check is the default setup for the board. Have you check the JTAG switch in the board where the switch is to enable MAX V in the JTAG chain?

alhussain779Hi Aqid,
Yes, it's enabled.
I have also tried every possible JTAG switch configuration, no luck.

Hi Alhussain,
I think this might be very likely with the Terasic board that you are using. I am not 100% confident on this but there might some differences between the board and our Intel Stratix 10 development kit.
When looking to Terasic DE10-Pro SX User Manual, I observed that the power monitor circuit is connected to S10 and not MAX 10 as our Intel® Stratix® 10 SX SoC Development Kit.
Refer to the attached snapshot from both documentations. We suspected Terasic have their own application written to read power monitor.

Aqid
