This course builds deep practical mastery of the complete Altera in-system debug suite available in Quartus Prime. The course brings participants to expert level proficiency through intensive lab work on real Altera development hardware using reference designs.
The course focusses on the Signal Tap II Embedded Logic Analyzer. It covers advanced hierarchical trigger flow graphs, storage qualification, multi-segment capture for intermittent fault analysis, and timing-mode oversampling for setup and hold characterization. It also develops Tcl scripting fluency for automating trigger configuration, data capture, and nightly regression debug workflows. This is complemented by power-up trigger techniques for boot fault capture, along with an exploration of Signal Probe and In-System Sources & Probes (ISSP).
