2.3.2. Installing the Development Kit

  1. Download the Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit installer package from the Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit webpage on the Intel website.
  2. Unzip the Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit installer package. The package creates the directory structure shown in the figure below.
    Figure 7.  Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit Directory Structure
  3. For the latest issues and release notes, Altera recommends that you review the readme.txt located in the root directory of the kit installation.
Table 3.  Installed Development Kit Directory Description
Directory Name Description of Directory Contents
board_design_files Contains schematic, layout, assembly, and Bill of Material (BOM) board design files. Use these files as a starting point for a new prototype board design.
demos Contains demonstration applications when available.
documents Contains the development kit documentation.
examples

Contains the sample design files for the Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit:

  • QSPI image, system MAX® 10 image
  • Board Test System (BTS): BTS GUI, Clock GUI, and Power GUI
  • Golden Top project for pinout assignments management
  • Design Examples: Memory, XCVR, GPIO, and PCIe* 4.0
