System Console and monitor service

I'm testing the monitor service from system console.

 

Below the example code (from help in system console) with modified registers. 0x00004014 is a register with is changing at 2 hz and 0x00004024 at 1 hz. With some C code I verified that the registers are indeed changing. 

 

See attached for code

 

I expect something like:

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x0(100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

 

 

But I get:

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x01 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x01 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

0x00004014: 0x00 (100 ms) 0x00004024: 0x00 (100 ms)

 

As you can see, the 0x00004024 is a copy of 0x00004014. I now for sure the values of the register are correct and changing.

 

I tested this two way's, one with an C application and two with system console with 20 bytes read on the callback function.

 

Output of C:

0x00004014: 0x00 0x00004024: 0x00

0x00004014: 0x00 0x00004024: 0x00

0x00004014: 0x00 0x00004024: 0x00

 

 

Code:

monitor_add_range $monitor_path $master_path 0x00004014 20

 

#TCL callback procedure for the monitor service

proc example_callback_proc {monitor_path master_path} {

set w1 [monitor_read_data $monitor_path $master_path 0x00004014 20]

set i1 [monitor_get_read_interval $monitor_path $master_path 0x00004014 20]

 

puts "0x00004014: $w1 ($i1 ms)"

}

Output of system console with change of size in read action:

From the documantion: "More ranges can be added. with monitor_add_range". This is also shown in the example. So I don't understand why this is not working. 

 

Do some of you have an idea?

I'm having the exact same issue with some code I wrote for system console. Has anyone figured this out? Should I start an Altera SR?
