1.5. Compiling and Testing the Design
- Ensure hardware example design generation is complete.
- Open the Intel® Quartus® Prime project <user-specified location>/example_design_a10/quartus/example_design.qpf, where <user-specified location> is the directory location you specified when you generated the testbench and hardware example design.
- On the Processing menu, click Start Compilation.
- After successful compilation, a .sof file will be generated in your specified directory. Follow these steps to program the hardware example design on the Intel® Arria® 10:
- On the Tools menu, click Programmer.
- In the Programmer, click Hardware Setup.
- Select a programming device.
- Select and add the Intel® Arria® 10 GX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit to which your Intel® Quartus® Prime session can connect.
- Ensure that Mode is set to JTAG.
- Select the Arria 10 device and click Add Device. The Programmer displays a block diagram of the connections between the devices on your board.
- In the row with your .sof, check the box for the .sof.
- Check the box in the Program/Configure column.
- Click Start.
- After the hardware example design is configured on the Intel® Arria® 10 device, in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, on the Tools menu, click System Debugging Tools > System Console.
- In the Tcl Console pane, type sysconsole_testbench.tcl.
- Type run_example_design.
