It is possible to access the transceivers using the Transceiver Toolkit via JTAG while the HPS is running.
Please ensure that the FPGA core file (IG43m.core.rbf) is loaded and the FPGA is configured in the U-Boot console before opening the Transceiver Toolkit. The detailed steps are as follows:
Step1: Configure MSEL switch (SW1 in SOM) to JTAG mode (11XX)
Step2: Please refer section ‘Programming QSPI flash image’ in Software User Manual or section ‘FPGA Programming’ in FPGA User Manual.
Step3: Connect the USB pendrive to the board, which contains the FPGA core file (IG43m.core.rbf).
Step4: Configure MSEL switch (SW1 in SOM) to Boot mode (00XX), ensure the board is booting.
Step5: Stop the booting at U-Boot console and load the FPGA core file (IG43m.core.rbf) using the below commands.
$ usb start
$ fatload usb 0:1 ${loadaddr} IG43m.core.rbf
$ fpga load 0 ${loadaddr} ${filesize}
$ bridge enable
Step6: Open Transceiver Toolkit in Quartus and check transceiver status by referring the section ‘Transceiver toolkit setup’ in FPGA User Manual.
Step7: Access the LWH2F bridge in U-Boot while monitoring transceivers.
