Hello. I have strange problem with SignalTap and Cyclone IV. There are fault responses. Frequency is low (50 MHz) and I don't know what to do

Are you sampling on the right clock? Are your observations correct?
Do you have timing violations(low clock does not mean no timing violations)?- Mark as New

There is a simple code
tp1 <= tp1_as; process (fpga_reset_h, sys_clk_int) is begin if(fpga_reset_h = '1') then --tp1 <= '0'; tp2 <= '0'; tp3 <= '0'; ser_txd <= '1'; elsif(rising_edge(sys_clk_int)) then tp2 <= tp2_as; tp3 <= tp3_as; ser_txd <= ser_rxd;-- Synchronous Sequential Statement(s) end if; end process; a1 : ENTITY work.spll PORT MAP ( areset => fpga_reset_h, inclk0 => sys_clk, c0 => sys_clk_int, c1 => tp1_as, c2 => tp2_as, locked => tp3_as ); There are no timing violations. SCD file contain correct clock constrains. SignalTap connected to sys_clk_int and tp1, tp2, tp3. SignalTap start off-loading data at some moment, but I don't see any graphical data. Pressing "Read Data" button gives result that looks like valid data at incorrect trigger condition Thanks- Mark as New

I had a similar problem when using a USB blaster that didn't came from Altera and running signaltap on the linux platform. It seemed that some ftdi drivers messed up a bit the data collected from the blaster and it got shifted a bit. I don't know if you are in a similar situation.
Can you route those signals to an FPGA pin and check them with a scope?- Mark as New

My USB blaster didn't came from Altera. But I have no any problem with previous design based on Cyclone III family. I use Windows7
TP1..3 are testpoints and I checked them with a scope. I didn't see any problems. Thanks for reply
