Hi there,
i need to implement an synthesizer, which should be controlled by the fpga. We bought the bladerf-micro thinking, that this interface would be doable at the expansion port.
Unfortunately, it has been everything ..but easy.
With a lot of trouble, I did until the compilation of the compilation of the build_bladerf.sh and the compilation of the software in eclipse.
The next step consisted on configuring a SPI module in the Qsys/Platform Designer, which is went smoothly.
However, the debugging/running of this new module on eclipse seems to be impossible, with the current hardware configuration.
Basically, the two possible ways to debug in NIOS lead me to nowhere:
-Trying NIOS II Hardware ends up killing Quartus, because eclipse freezes
-Trying NIOS II Hardware beta pops up Nios2DebugException: Target is broken and needs to be reset,
After Days:Hours:Minutes of googling , it seem that something on bladeRF-micro hardware interference with the JTAG reset…. I guess..
I appreciate any comment or ideas

Re: Nios2DebugException: Target is broken and needs to be reset
Apologies about the delay. The forum seems to be under a constant flood of spam.
To quote the response from Github:
Disabling the FX3's GPIF interface entirely may be a bit difficult.

Also, is there anything specific about the FX3 that is causing the FPGA to not be in the desired state?It should be possible to debug the bladeRF's NIOS by following documentation in: https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/blob/m ... eclipse.sh
Please note that prior to connecting to the debugger, the FPGA should be loaded by libbladeRF, preferably by bladeRF-cli.
