Preparing the Default PR Persona

In this phase you instantiate the SLD JTAG Bridge Host in the PR region that you want to debug.
  1. In the IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog), type SLD JTAG Bridge Host, and double-click the SLD JTAG Bridge Host Intel® FPGA IP .
  2. In the Create IP Variant dialog box, type sld_host as the file name, and then click Create.
    Figure 8. Create IP Variant Dialog Box
  3. In the parameter editor, leave the default parameterization for sld_host. Click Generate HDL..., and then click Generate.
    Figure 9. SLD JTAG Bridge Host Intel® FPGA IP Parameters
    The parameter editor generates the sld_host.ip IP variation file and adds the file to the blinking_led project.
  4. Close the parameter editor.
  5. Verify whether the sld_host IP variant appears in the IP Components tab of the Project Navigator.
    Figure 10. sld_host IP Variant in Project Navigator
    If the IP variant does not appear in the Project Navigator, click Project > Add/Remove Files in Project, find the sld_host.ip file, and add it to the project.
  6. Instantiate the sld_host IP in the default persona by uncommenting the following blocks of code from blinking_led.sv: 
    //===============
//Uncomment to enable Signal Tap
wire tck;
wire tms;
wire tdi;
wire vir_tdi;
wire ena;
wire tdo;
sld_host u_sld_hostled_two_on (
   .tck	(tck),	//   input,  width = 1, connect_to_bridge_host.tck
   .tms	(tms),	//   input,  width = 1,                       .tms
   .tdi	(tdi),	//   input,  width = 1,                       .tdi
   .vir_tdi(vir_tdi),//   input,  width = 1,                    .vir_tdi
   .ena	(ena),	//   input,  width = 1,                       .ena
   .tdo	(tdo)	 //  output,  width = 1,                       .tdo
);
//===============
  7. Change the instantiation of the persona in top.sv to include the sld_host ports. 
    blinking_led u_blinking_led (
    .clock         (clock),
    .counter       (count_d),
    //===================
    //Uncomment this block to enable Signal Tap
    .tck	(tck),	//   input,  width = 1, connect_to_bridge_host.tck
    .tms	(tms),	//   input,  width = 1,                       .tms
    .tdi	(tdi),	//   input,  width = 1,                       .tdi
    .vir_tdi(vir_tdi), // input,  width = 1,                   .vir_tdi
    .ena	(ena),	//   input,  width = 1,                       .ena
    .tdo	(tdo),	//  output,  width = 1,                       .tdo
    //====================
    .led_two_on    (pr_led_two_on),
    .led_three_on  (pr_led_three_on)
);
  8. Update the port definition of the default PR persona to include the following ports by uncommenting this block of code in the blinking_led.sv file: 
    module blinking_led (
    // clock
    input wire clock,
    input wire [31:0] counter,
    //=================
    //Uncomment this block to enable Signal Tap
    input wire tck,
    input wire tms,
    input wire tdi,
    input wire vir_tdi,
    input wire ena,
    output wire tdo,
    //=================
    // Control signals for the LEDs
    output wire led_two_on,
    output wire led_three_on
);
