Enabling HPS JTAG on DK-DEV-AGI027RBES

[RicardoC]

Hi,

The HPS JTAG signals of the Agilex7 device on the DK-DEV-AGI027RBES are directly connected to the MAX10 device. They have been properly setup within Quartus following the IO assignment provided in the DK-DEV-AGI027RBES schematics. The HPS is able to boot the FSBL using u-boot, confirmed by the UART output. However, DS-5 cannot connect to the A53_0, or any of the A53s, with the error:

Unable to connect to A53_0.

Reason:
The target hardware identity could not be verified. Please check that the target being connected to is of type Agilex SoC

Is there any special consideration that needs to be taken in order to connect the On-board Intel FPGA Download Cable II to the HPS JTAG chain?

Thank you,

Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo

This you select the arm A53 under the Intel SoC FPGA during the target selection?

Intel SoC FPGA > Agilex > Bare Metal Debug > Debug Cortex-A53_0

Hi Jingyang,

Thank you for the response. This is how it is configured:

It is a bit different that what you mentioned. Does it look OK?

Thank you,

Ricardo

Hi @JingyangTeh_Altera,

Do you have an update on how to configure the DK-DEV-AGI027RBES so that the HPS_JTAG signals of the Agilex part are in the JTAG chain?

Thank you,

Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo

Sorry for the late response.

Apparently this issue is a known problem and there are efforts to get this resolved.

It is expected to have a detailed instruction on a new programming file for the MAX10 within the next two weeks.

Hi Jingyang,

The released document does not discuss about the inclusion of the HPS CPU JTAG into the board JTAG chain. Was it addressed in the new MAX10 image?

Thank you,

Ricardo

[JingyangTeh_Altera]

Hi Ricardo

It is a new image for the MAX10 device that will bridge the HPS JTAG to the JTAG chain.

In the documentation there are instruction on flashing the new MAX10 image and you see the HPS JTAG on the jtag chain.

Hi Ricardo

Are you still facing any problem?

Hi Jingyang,

I have not been able to test it because the reference design used in the released document makes use of an Ethernet controller, a Nios V and some other 3 IPs that we don't have license for.

I will update this thread when I'm able to try it.

Thank you,

Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo

Any update on this case?

If you got problem with the licensing, you could try getting a evaluation license first while the process of acquiring a license is going on.
