Running the 8K DisplayPort Video Format Conversion Design Example

You must download the compiled .sof file for the design to the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit to run the design.

STEPS:

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, click Tools > Programmer.
  2. In the Programmer window, click Auto Detect to scan the JTAG chain and discover the connected devices.
    If a pop-up window appears asking you to update the Programmer's device list, click Yes.
  3. In the device list, select the row labeled 10AX115S2F45.
  4. Click Change File…
    • To use the precompiled version of the programming file that Intel includes as part of the design download, select master_image/pre_compiled.sof.
    • To use your programming file created by the local compile, select output_files/top.sof.
  5. Turn on Program/Configure in the 10AX115S2F45 row of the device list.
  6. Click Start.
    When the programmer completes, the design runs automatically.
  7. Open a Nios II terminal to receive the output text messages from the design, otherwise the design locks up after a number of switch changes (only if you set user DIP switch 1 to ON).
    1. Open a terminal window and type nios2-terminal
    2. Press Enter.
When the design is running, the output appears on the display, even if no source is connected at the input. With no source, the output is a black screen with the Intel logo in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
