Hello 

 

I am wondering if someone was able to port the Example how to get the  

Remote System Debug over Ethernet with the Arria 10 to on Arria V / Cyclone V ? 

 

Link to the Example: 

http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/projects/remotesystemdebug 

 

An Application Note about this:

Regards

Which part of the implementation are you having trouble with?

I patched the kernel used in this Instruction http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/yoctodorabuildwithmetaaltera 

with the DebugHub drivers from here http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/projects/remotesystemdebug 

The result is https://github.com/nopeppermint/meta-altera which points to https://github.com/nopeppermint/linux-socfpga/tree/socfpga-3.10-ltsi 

=> so I used git clone git://github.com/nopeppermint/meta-altera.git instead of git clone git://github.com/kraj/meta-altera.git 

in this Instruction http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/yoctodorabuildwithmetaaltera 

 

=> I followed the Yocto build instructions and added this step: 

"bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel" to select "Device Drivers/Character Devices/SLD HUB driver" so the driver was compiled. 

I manual added the mmlink application to the rootfs. 

 

=> in Qsys a "SLD Hub Controller System" is added 

 

=> the problem is somewhere between step 5-7 here http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/projects/remotesystemdebug as there is no connection :-( 

 

Do you have any suggestions/ideas ?

Means the server is started, system console can be selected in signal tap but you don't get "JTAG ready"? 

 

I would check if the sever is connecting and responding by wireshark. If connecting but not responding check the embedded code. If responding but no valid JTAG communication, check the SLD_Hub connection.
