System Console script for Avalon-MM access

Altera_Forum · ‎11-09-2014

Hi,

does anyone have a .tcl-script for writing data via the System Console to Avalon-MM slaves that he/she want's to share?

Cheers, Peter

Here's a pretty basic script ...

#  -----------------------------------------------------------------#  jtag_cmds.tcl# #  11/9/2014 D. W. Hawkins (dwh@ovro.caltech.edu)# #  SystemConsole commands.# #  -----------------------------------------------------------------
#  =================================================================#  Master access#  =================================================================# #  -----------------------------------------------------------------#  Open the JTAG master service#  -----------------------------------------------------------------
#  Open the first Avalon-MM master service
proc jtag_open {} {
    global jtag
   #  Close any open service
    if {} {
        jtag_close
    }
    set master_paths 
    if { == 0} {
        puts "Sorry, no master nodes found"
        return
    }
   #  Select the first master service
    set jtag(master) 
    open_service master $jtag(master)
    return
}
#  -----------------------------------------------------------------#  Close the JTAG master service#  -----------------------------------------------------------------# 
proc jtag_close {} {
    global jtag
    if {} {
        close_service master $jtag(master)
        unset jtag(master)
    }
    return
}
#  -----------------------------------------------------------------#  JTAG-to-Avalon-MM bridge read/write#  -----------------------------------------------------------------# 
proc jtag_read {addr} {
    global jtag
    if {!} {
        jtag_open
    }
   #  Read 32-bits
    set data 
    return $data
}
proc jtag_write {addr data} {
    global jtag
    if {!} {
        jtag_open
    }
   #  Write 32-bits
    master_write_32 $jtag(master) $addr 
    return
}

You can start System Console and then type

tcl> source jtag_cmds.tcl

and then you can type jtag_read <address> or jtag_write <address> <data>

These are dead-simple procedures. They are *not* efficient for transferring large amounts of data. Check out the other master procedures for better options (or ask).

Cheers,

Dave

Hey Dave,

thanks heaps! That should get me started.
