4.1. Preparing the Board

Several designs are provided to test the major board features. Each design provides data for one or more tabs in the application. The Configure Menu identifies the appropriate design to download to the FPGA for each tab.

After successful FPGA configuration, the appropriate tab appears that allows you to exercise the related board features. Highlights appear in the board picture around the corresponding components.

The BTS communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in the FPGA. The BTS and Power Monitor share the JTAG bus with other applications like the Nios® II debugger and the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer. Because the BTS is designed based on the Quartus® Prime software, be sure to close other applications before you use the BTS.

The BTS relies on the Quartus® Prime software's specific library. Before running the BTS, open the Quartus® Prime software to automatically set the environment variable $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR. The BTS uses this environment variable to locate the Quartus® Prime library. The version of Quartus® Prime software set in the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR environment variable should be newer than version 22.4. For example, the Development Kit Installer version 22.4 requires that the Quartus® Prime software 22.4 or later version to be installed.

Also, to ensure that the FPGA is configured successfully, you should install the latest Quartus® Prime software that can support the silicon on the development kit. For this board, Altera recommends that you install Quartus® Prime version 22.4.94.
