Openocd with DE-10 nano (usb blaster 2) [Solved]

[fabiodl]

Has anyone managed to use openocd with the Terasic DE-10 nano board?
Quartus programmer works. I tried two boards, so I'd exclude hardware problems.

I correctly set the path of usb_blaster_firrmware in altera-usb-blaster2.cfg
I added the udev rules
I defined the chain as by attachment
I am using Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0 (but version 0.9 gives the same error
With the following command

Code: [Select]

openocd -f altera-usb-blaster2.cfg -f chain.cfg -c init -c "svf -quiet /tmp/jfpgaIo.svf" -c shutdown
I get the following output

You are improperly specifying your JTAG speed.  Which version of OpenOCD are you using? Check the config file, and compare how you specify the JTAG speed to the examples in the OpenOCD documentation.

[fabiodl]

I  was using 0.10 (as shown in the log).
I tried using the latest git version, but the error is the same.
I reduced the chain to the following minimal file

Code: [Select]

jtag newtap fpgasoc.fpga tap -irlen 10 -ircapture 0x01 -irmask 0x3 -expected-id 0x02d020dd
jtag newtap fpgasoc cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x01 -irmask 0x0f -expected-id 0x4ba00477

and the other configuration file is the interface/altera-usb-blaster2.cfg that comes with the latest git installation.
That file reads

Code: [Select]

#
# Altera USB-Blaster II
#

adapter driver usb_blaster
usb_blaster_vid_pid 0x09fb 0x6010 0x09fb 0x6810
usb_blaster_lowlevel_driver ublast2
usb_blaster_firmware /path/to/quartus/blaster_6810.hex

where the path was adjusted to the correct one
The output is the following

3.3x10⁷ Hz is 33 MHz, which seems awfully fast for a JTAG interface.  Usually these communicate in the hundreds of kilohertz.  It is also saying you are having a translation error for the jtag speed.  I think there is still something wrong with how you are specifying JTAG, and I don't see that you are specifying the speed anywhere in your config file.  Also, openocd is now in version 0.11.  I recommend building it from the source: https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd

It has a slightly different way of specifying the JTAG speed, which might clear up your issue.  Check out how I specify the adapter speed in my OpenOCD implementation for programming a xilinx part using an FT232H adapter: https://github.com/SMB784/SQRL/blob/master/SQRL.program_scripts/xilinx-artix7.cfg

[fabiodl]

The speed is the default in quartus.I tried reducing it down to 100Khz and it made no difference.
For posterity, I found a solution

I do not know why, but the svf generated by

Code: [Select]

quartus_sh   --flow compile pjname.qpf
is bad.
If I genetate it using

Code: [Select]

quartus_cpf -c -q 33Mhz -g 3.3 -n p Chain1.cdf /tmp/out.svf
then it works
