5.1. FPGA Configuration

Prerequisites:
  • Install the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition and Intel® FPGA Download Cable II driver on the host computer.
  • Connect the micro-USB cable to the Intel® Stratix® 10 DX FPGA Development Kit.
  • Power-on the board. Ensure that no running application is using the JTAG chain.

Follow these steps to configure the FPGA with your SRAM Object File (.sof) using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer:

  1. Start the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer.
  2. Click Auto Detect to display the devices in the JTAG chain.
  3. Click Change File and select the path to the desired *.sof file.
  4. Turn on the Program or Configure option for the added file.
  5. Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. The configuration is completed successfully when the progress bar reaches 100%.
Using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer to configure a device on the board causes other JTAG- based applications such as the Board Test System and the Power Monitor to lose their connection to the board. Restart those applications after the configuration is complete.
Note: While using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 19.3, you may observe occasional crash. Contact Intel support to access additional patch (0.01) for Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer to mitigate this issue.
