1.7.2. Cyclone® V Remote Update Design Example

Intel® uses the following hardware and software to create the design example:

  • Quartus® Prime Version: 13.0
  • Cyclone® V Development Kit with 5CEFA7F31C7ES FPGA Device

Follow these steps to perform the design example tasks:

  1. Unzip the contents of the design example to your working directory on your PC.
  2. In the Quartus® Prime software, click Open Project in the File menu.
  3. Compile the application image:
    1. Browse to the folder in which you unzipped the files and open the Application_Image.qpf.
    2. Click Yes in the message box "Do you want to overwrite the database for C:/your working directory/Application_Image.qpf created by Quartus II 64-Bit Version 13.0.a Build 232 Service Pack 1 SJ Full version?"
    3. On the Processing menu, choose Start Compilation.
    4. Click OK when the full compilation successful dialog box appears. The Application_Image.sof is generated in c:\<your working directory>\output_files.
    5. Click close project in the file menu.
  4. Compile the factory image:
    1. Browse to the folder in which you unzipped the files and open the SVRSU.qpf.
    2. Click Yes in the message box "Do you want to overwrite the database for C:/your working directory/Application_Image.qpf created by Quartus II 64-Bit Version 13.0.a Build 232 Service Pack 1 SJ Full version?"
    3. Choose Start Compilation on the Processing menu.
    4. Click OK when the full compilation successful dialog box appears. The Factory_Image.sof is generated in c:\<your working directory>\output_files.
  5. On the File Menu, click Convert Programming Files and select the details as shown below:
    • Programming File type: JTAG Indirect Configuration File (.jic)
    • Select Configuration Device: EPCQ 128
    • Mode: Active Serial x4
    • File name: c:/<your working directory>/output_file.jic
    • Flash loader: click add device and choose 5CEFA7ES
    • SOFT DATA PAGE_0: click Add File and select the factory image file (SVRSU.sof)
    • SOFT DATA PAGE_1: click Add File and select the Application image file (Application_Image.sof)
    • Click Generate.
    • Click OK when the dialog box of .jic file successfully generated appears.
  6. On the Tool Menu, click Programmer and follow these steps:
    1. Make sure the board is power up and the Intel® FPGA Download Cable is connected between computer and the board. This design example uses the Intel® FPGA Download Cable and JTAG mode.
    2. Click Auto Detect.
    3. Right-click on the 5CEFA7ES and select change file.
    4. Browse to the output_file.jic that was generated in previous steps.
    5. Turn on the Program/Configure checkbox and click Start.
    6. Configuration successful indicates the FPGA is configured successfully.
