Critical Issue
Memory access via the JTAG-to-Avalon master bridge times out in System Console if the frequency of the clock that feeds the Avalon memory-mapped (Avalon-MM) interface is less than 2x the frequency of the JTAG clock (TCK).
Ensure that the frequency of the clock feeding the Avalon-MM interface is at least 2x higher than the TCK frequency.
Newer version of USB-Blaster II download cable has a default frequency of 24 MHz. To query TCK frequency of USB-Blaster II, run:
jtagconfig --getparam <cable> JtagClock
To change the TCK frequency to a valid frequency (that is, 16 MHz or 6 MHz), run:
jtagconfig --setparam <cable> JtagClock <frequency><unit>
For example: jtagconfig --setparam 1 JtagClock 6M
