Signaltap - Crashing when attaching .sof file

[GDagi1]

Hi all,

I generated a .sof file on a server running CentOS 8 and Quartus Pro 20.4. I am attempting to run a signaltap on the .sof after dragging it to a server running RHEL 7.9 and Quartus Pro 20.4.

My process:

1. run /intel/intelFPGA_pro/20.4/quartus/bin/.quartus_stpw (Signaltap Pro)

2. Configure stp (see screenshot)

3. Attempt to attach .sof -> crash

*** Fatal Error: Segment Violation: faulting address=0xfffffffffffffff8, PC=0x7f735f7b99c5 : 0x7f735f7b99c5: sld_sdr!SDR_DATA_SESSION::embed_sof_file(char const*, char const*) + 0x8b9

Thanks,

George

Hi,

May I know what is the reason that you are attaching sof file in step 3 since you already program the sof file in step 2?

May I know if you have another PC to test the same thing?

Step 2 I am simply scanning for the device.

I have solved my issue by programming from the programmer independently:

run /intel/intelFPGA_pro/20.4/quartus/bin/.quartus_pgmw

Glad to hear that your issue is resolved.
