Quartus NIOS console out not working #2

Closed Wiljan1 closed 9 months ago

Wiljan1 commented 9 months ago

On Win10 Quartus 17.1 Std and Catapult 2 PCI board X930613-001 with FT232H onboard

A "Hello World" NIOSII project the STDOUT print does not show up in Eclipse The program does run fine in NIOS (have some led counting)

If I use an old clone USB Blaster on the JTGA connector on the board the NIOS console print out the "Hello World" fine with the same code.

I did add a logic analyser on the JTAG and it's clear the after loading the program to the FPGA the USB Blaster clone does have a kind of polling running to show the STDOUT promt, when the mpsse blaster have no communication after loading the code.

If I use debug in Eclipse it does fine read the variables in the FPGA NIOS so it's possible to read back data

So I guess something are missing in the mpsse code?

@Wiljan1, believe it or not, this problem was caused by the port name itself, so after removing the VID and PID from the port name: [00 Single RS232-HS (0403:6014)] to [00 Single RS232-HS] -> voilà! the NIOS console has started working. It`s fixed in version 1.0.2.

@tow3rs , crazy reason, but I can confirm that the NIOS console does work fine in v1.02 so issue can be closed.
