That=E2=80=99s odd. Did your build pass timing? Look in build/output/timing=
_report/clocks.sta.fail.summary, which should be empty. Run scripts 1.2 and=
 later will print timing pass/fail at the end without having to look.

The method used internally to build the AFU you say works is identical, dri=
ven by the same afu_synth_setup of the same configuration file. I=E2=80=99m=
 not a big signaltap user, so going out on a limb. Does it have to be run f=
rom the directory where the project was built? That would be build_mode_0_s=
tp/build (one level down from where you are in the =E2=80=9Cbuild=E2=80=9D =
directory). You would also have to adjust the path to ../../hw/par/stp_basi=
c.stp. You could also try to run STP from the directory that you already kn=
ow works but with the AFU you build loaded in order to rule out path proble=
ms.

I suppose it could be a beta problem, too. The final version of the code ca=
n be downloaded here<https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/p=
roducts/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/acceleration-card-arria-10-gx.html>=
. It includes a patched version of Quartus (17.1.1) that fixes some PR prob=
lems. You will have to follow the instructions for updating the board confi=
guration. That process is improving significantly with newer releases. No g=
uarantee that doing the update will fix the problem, but the release is ava=
ilable and is an improvement over the beta.

Subject: [OPAE] Signaltap not working with nlb_mode_0_stp example


Hello!



I want to use Signaltap to debug a system build into the green area of the =
AFU.

To confirm that it works I followed the instructions at https://www.intel.c=
om/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/bfr1522087299048.html#dir15=
12265248423

The example works if I just load the provided bitstream from the nlb_mode_0=
_stp/bin directory.

However, if I build the bitstream myself I cannot connect to Signaltap.



After creating a working copy of the example I executed the following steps:



afu_synth_setup -s hw/rtl/filelist_mode_0_stp.txt build_mode_0_stp

cd build_mode_0_stp

/opt/intel/opae/a10_gx_pac_ias_1_1_beta/bin/run.sh

fpgaconf nlb_400.gbs

mmlink -P 3333

system-console --rc_script=3Dmmlink_setup_profiled.tcl remote_debug.sof loc=
alhost 3333

quartus ../hw/par/stp_basic.stp



I could complete every step up until the last one, where I can see the Sign=
altap device but recieve the following error when trying to acquire data.



"Error(261005): Can't find the instance.  Download a design with SRAM Objec=
t File containing this instance."



If I reprogram the device with the provided bitstream it works. The one I g=
enerated using run.sh does not work.



I used Quartus Prime 1.7.1.1 Build 273 for the synthesis and IAS release 1.=
1 beta.



Greetings

Jens
