Arria10GX development kit BTS throws java exception

[okramer]

I'm getting an exception running BoardTestSystem.sh soon after launch, and everytime I perform an action on the GUI:

SEVERE: null java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "USB-BlasterII on localhost (1-5)" at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.report(FutureTask.java:122) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.get(FutureTask.java:206) at com.altera.bts.Programmer.getMessage(Programmer.java:208) at com.altera.bts.BUP.updateBup(BUP.java:80) at com.altera.bts.BUP.access$100(BUP.java:44) at com.altera.bts.BUP$1BupTask.run(BUP.java:64) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.runAndReset(FutureTask.java:308) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$301(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:180) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:294) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "USB-BlasterII on localhost (1-5)" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:65) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:580) at java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Integer.java:740) at java.lang.Integer.decode(Integer.java:1197) at com.altera.bts.systemconsole.client.CommandShell.getUsbIndex(CommandShell.java:102) at com.altera.bts.systemconsole.client.CommandShell.getUsbIndexString(CommandShell.java:109) at com.altera.bts.systemconsole.client.CommandShell.getCableIndex(CommandShell.java:117) at com.altera.bts.Programmer.lambda$getBoardInfo$0(Programmer.java:110) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) ... 3 more

I'm running with the board out of the computer, using the DC power supply, USB cable to host, and ethernet cable to router/LAN. There is some communication because the UI is displaying info from the board. I just can't perform any config actions. Anything I try pops up the message "Failed to detect this device."

`jtagconfig` returns the seemingly correct info:

$ jtagconfig 1) USB-BlasterII [1-5] 02E660DD 10AX115H1(.|E2|ES)/10AX115H2/.. 020A40DD 5M(1270ZF324|2210Z)/EPM2210

The BTS GUI is showing: "Detected bup_webserver.sof on FPGA."

I've posted similar issues associated with getting this board tested out, but I would be happy just getting past this fundamental problem.

Hi OKram2,

Can you kindly try to reduce your TCK frequency to 6 MHz?

Below link is the command to change TCK frequency (on page 14= 2.8. Changing the TCK Frequency)

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_usb_blstr_ii_cable.pdf#page=14

Kindly try it out and let me know the result.

Thanks

I got slightly different behavior after doing the following. (Note I'm using '1' for the cable number. I don't know how to determine what the index should be so using the example.)

~$ jtagconfig --setparam 1 JtagClock 6M ~$ jtagconfig --getparam 1 JTagClock 6M ~$ cd arria10GX_10ax115sf45_fpga_v15.1.2/examples/board_test_system ~/arria10GX_10ax115sf45_fpga_v15.1.2/examples/board_test_system$ BoardTestSystem.sh

I have attached a PNG with screenshots. When I try Restore->Factory Restore, I get a popup saying:

Failed to get this device. Please make sure system console is closed. Close this GUI amd check the board connection.

What system console is it referring to? What connection is failing since jtag is available and I'm getting some communication happening as evidenced by the Message in the BTS GUI. The new behavior is in the "Messages" window. Now (after factory restore and before clicking "OK" on the "Failed to get this device" popup) it says:

Current design occupies flash interface. Must reconfigure with none flash interface design...

I don't understand what it's telling me to do (and isn't even proper grammar!) When I click "OK" on the popup, I get the same "Failed to get this device" again, but the Messages window says "Program factory image to flash !..."

I'm attaching screenshots as a single PNG. The BTS run's console output is below. I have Quartus 15.1.2 in exec and lib paths.

 I have a feeling the Java errors are due to the host java code and not the board. Perhaps you have a newer version of bts.jar that runs on openjdk 1.8?

Hi OKram2,

There are couple of thing you need bear in mind.

First:

The BTS relies on the Quartus Prime software's specific library. Before running the BTS, open the

Quartus Prime software. It sets the environment variable $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR automatically. The Board

Test System uses this environment variable to locate the Quartus Prime library.

The BTS will pick up the Quartus programmer to configure the FPGA device on the development kit,

please make sure the Quartus Prime software is the version supporting the specific FPGA device.

The reference design is built by Quartus Version 15.1.2.193

Second:

You can check your log file in order for you to analyse the error.

you can check it using your bts_log.txt.

This file is locate here : <YOUR DIRECTORY>\Arria 10GX\arria10GX_10ax115sf45_fpga_v15.1.2\examples\board_test_system>

Third:

Make sure you are using the support OS for Quartus 15.1.2

You can check the supported here:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/download/os-support.html

These are support OS for Quartus 15.1:

System Requirements

===================

Operating system support

------------------------

* Windows 7 SP1(64 bit)

* Windows 8.1 (64 bit)*

* Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (64 bit)**

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 (64 bit)***

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (64 bit)

I hope this will help you.

Thanks

Just to close this out... Since my ultimate goal is to use the dev board for OpenCL programming, I stopped trying to use BTS suppied with the board for now. Other field application engineers indicated that I am able to use the latest Quartus (19.3) for building OpenCL apps and kernels. So I'll just skip trying to get BTS v.15.1 and other examples in that board support package working. Thanks for the help.
