System Console hw.tcl:error

Hi everyone, 

 

I am trying to use the Trace System Megacore function along with the Video Monitor component from the Video and Imaging Processing toolkit to monitor a video stream. At the moment, the test platform has the following components: 

 

Test Pattern Generator -> Video Monitor -> Color Plane Sequencer -> Frame Buffer -> Clocked Video Out 

 

I also have a NIOS II CPU (with onboard RAM), Trace System, External Memory Controller, and JTAG UART. 

 

The project compiles in Quartus II (v. 13.0) and I downloaded to the dev board. I then ran my code from Eclipse that initializes and starts the various components. 

 

The problem: I was able to use System Console to view the video stream once. Seeing that I had the Trace system running, I was happy and made a change to my system - added a 2nd video monitor component after the Color Plane Sequencer. Once I recompiled the system and loaded it to my board, the System Console no longer displays any packet information. Also, in my Trace Table View -> Capture Settings -> Select Hardware window, next to my video monitor entry an error appears in red "hw.tcl:error" 

 

Any ideas what this error is? Does it mean I've done something nasty to the hardware? 

 

Thanks.
