Includes a "JTAG serial port," a device which looks like a UART on the SoC WishBone bus, but which transfers data via JTAG to the jtag bridge program, where it can be viewed via telnet.
#ALTERA USB BLASTER CYCLONE IV DRIVER FULL#
Includes full support for OR1200 hardware watchpoints/breakpoints and counters, including a GUI client program "AdvancedWatchpointControl" This is the Actel equivalent of the Altera sld_virtual_jtag or the Xilinx BSCAN TAP, it allows a user to connect to the advanced debug unit through the main FPGA JTAG connection.Ĭables supported: Altera USB-Blaster, Xilinx Platform Cable USB (DLC9 and DLC10), various FT2232-based cables, various FT245-based cables, Xilinx Parallel Cable III (IV in compatibility mode), Altera ByteBlaster II, XESS parallel interface This is the Xilinx equivalent of the Altera sld_virtual_jtag interface, it allows a user to connect to the advanced debug unit through the main FPGA JTAG connection. Supports Xilinx BSCAN_* virtual JTAG interface. This allows the user to connect to the advanced debug unit via the same JTAG port which is used to program the FPGA, similar to the way the Altera Nios II processor debugger works. Supports Altera sld_virtual_jtag interface. This configuration is often found on Xilinx reference hardware, and was not supported by previous debug hardware. Documents describing each component individually are included (under doc/ in each component's subdirectory) as secondary material.
#ALTERA USB BLASTER CYCLONE IV DRIVER HOW TO#
This suite includes a top-level document explaining the workings of the debug system and each of its components, including information to help the user choose the best components for his or her target system, and information on how to connect them. The fourth important component of the system is the documentation. Communication is performed via a JTAG cable, which adv_jtag_bridge drives. This component acts as a communication bridge between a source-level debugger program (GDB, not included in this package) and the JTAG TAP.

The third component is a software program called "adv_jtag_bridge," which is designed to run on the user's workstation. Four different versions of the JTAG TAP core are included, targeting four different types of system. The second component is a JTAG TAP this relatively small hardware core acts as a connection between the adv_dbg_if core and the external pins of the target chip (ASIC or FPGA).


The first component, the "adv_dbg_if" core, is a hardware core designed to interface directly to the OR1200 CPU and a WishBone bus, controlling the CPU and reading and writing data to both the CPU registers and memory addresses on the bus.

In particular, target systems using the OpenRISC 1200 processor and a WishBone bus are currently supported by the Advanced Debug Interface. Thank you all in advance.The Advanced Debug Interface is a suite of IP cores and software programs designed to allow a developer to download code to a target CPU in a System-on-Chip, then perform source-level debugging of that code. Also tried running as administrator and running with compatibility settings without effect.Īny advice people have would be most appreciated. I've tried restarting the server, reinstalling the drivers, and even totally uninstalling and reinstalling Quartus. (Note: I enabled remote clients to see if I could "remotely" connect to my local server it made not difference)įinally, I checked if the server saw connected devices it did not: Server reports version: Version 18.1.0 Build 625 SJ Standard Edition Server reports path: C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.1\quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe Service manager reports server is running Installed JTAG server is 'C:\intelFPGA_lite\18.1\quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe' However, when I check the server using jtagconfig.exe -serverinfo, everything appears fine: In the programmer window->Hardware Setup->JTAG Settings, I see no local server listed, while on my laptop it shows a local server.

In Device Manager, it shows up as "Altera USB-Blaster", and the installed driver points to the appropriate driver in the Quartus install folder. I haven't installed anything new recently other than the Windupdate, and everything was working normally a few weeks ago when I last programmed devices. I can see the device normally on my laptop, so I know it isn't the cable or the Nano hardware. I'm running Windows 10, 64 bit, version 2004. I occasionally see it right after rebooting my computer, but it disappears after a few minutes.Ĭonfiguration: I am working with Altera Quartus 18.1 Lite, programming a DEO Nano board with a Cyclone IV FPGA. For the last week or so, I have been unable to see my board connected via USB Blaster in the Altera programmer.
