The Intel® Arria® 10 GX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit ships with the Board Update Portal design example stored in the factory portion of the flash memory on the board. The design consists of a Nios® II embedded processor, an Ethernet MAC and an HTML web server.

When you power up the board with the SW3.2 FACTORY_LOAD to OFF(1) position, the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA configures with the Board Update Portal design example. The design can obtain an IP address from any DHCP server and serve a web page from the flash on your board to any host computer on the same network. The web page allows you to upload new FPGA designs to the user portion of flash memory and provides links to useful information on the Intel website, including kit-specific links and design resources.

After successfully updating the user flash memory, you can load the user design from flash memory into the FPGA. To do so, set SW3.2 to ON (0) position and power cycle the board.

The source code for the Board Update Portal design resides in the <package dir>\examples\board_update_portal directory.

If the Board Update Portal is corrupted or deleted from the flash memory, refer to “Restoring the Flash Device to the Factory Settings” to restore the board with its original factory contents.
