4.3. Setting Up the Motor Control Board with your Development Board

CAUTION:
Before you begin, to prevent damage to the motor control board, ensure development board and power board are turned off.
  1. Remove the SD card from the SoC board if it is fitted.
  2. Connect the power board to the development board using the HSMC connector.
  3. Connect a USB cable from the USB-Blaster connector (J37) on the development board to your computer. The Cyclone V SoC development board requires an additional USB cable connected to the UART connector (J8).
  4. Open the terminal emulator to connect to the virtual COM port (which has a large number, e.g. 12) with:.
    • Baud rate: 115000
    • Data: 8 bit
    • Parity: none
    • Stop bits: 1
    • Flow control: none
  5. Apply power to the development board.
    To power the board from a battery, refer to AN 773: Drive-On-Chip Design Example for Intel MAX 10 Devices
    • Preparing the Rechargeable Battery

    • Applying Power to the Power Board
  6. Compile the hardware and software and program the hardware and software to the development board:

    The terminal must display the correct FPGA and power boards, otherwise you might damage either board.

  7. Apply power to the motor control power board.
  8. Before reprogramming the FPGA, or removing power from the development boards, always remove power from the motor control power board first.
