Step 9: Programming the Board
Before you begin:
- Connect the power supply to the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA development board.
- Connect the Intel® FPGA Download Cable between your PC USB port and the Intel® FPGA Download Cable port on the development board.
Note: This tutorial utilizes the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA development board on the bench, outside of the PCIe* slot in your host machine.
To run the design on the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA development board:
- Open the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and click Tools > Programmer.
- In the Programmer, click Hardware Setup and select an Intel FPGA download cable.
- Click Auto Detect and select the device, 10AX115S2.
- Click OK. The Intel® Quartus® Prime software detects and updates the Programmer with the three FPGA chips on the board.
- Select the 10AX115S2 device, click Change File and load the blinking_led_default.sof file.
- Enable Program/Configure for blinking_led_default.sof file.
- Click Start and wait for the progress bar to reach 100%.
- Observe the LEDs on the board blinking at the same frequency as the original flat design.
- To program only the PR region, right-click the blinking_led_default.sof file in the Programmer and click Add PR Programming File.
- Select the blinking_led_default.pr_partition.rbf file.
- Disable Program/Configure for blinking_led_default.sof file.
- Enable Program/Configure for blinking_led_slow.pr_partition.rbf file and click Start. On the board, observe LED[0] and LED[1] continuing to blink. When the progress bar reaches 100%, LED[2] and LED[3] blink slower.
- To re-program the PR region, right-click the .rbf file in the Programmer and click Change PR Programing File.
- Select the .rbf files for the other two personas to observe the behavior on the board. Loading the blinking_led_default.pr_partition.rbf file causes the LEDs to blink at a specific frequency, and loading the blinking_led_empty.pr_partition.rbf file causes the LEDs to stay ON.
