1.2.3. Compiling the HDL and Programming the Board
- Extract the reference design from the reference design ZIP file (jesd204b_av_soc_ref_design.zip).
- Launch the Quartus® Prime software.
- On the File menu, click Open Project.
- Navigate to your project directory and select the Quartus project archive file (jesd204b_ed.qar). Click Open.
- In the Restore Archived Project window, verify that the archive file name is jesd204b_ed.qar and set the destination folder to the destination folder of your choice. Click OK. The Quartus project opens in the Quartus window.
- To compile the HDL, navigate to the Processing menu and select Start Compilation. The Quartus software compiles the design and indicates the compilation status in the Tasks panel.
- After compilation is done, you are ready to program the FPGA device with the programming file. Navigate to the Tools menu and click Programmer.
- In the Programmer window, click Add File.
- In the Select Programming File window, navigate to <your project directory> /output_files/jesd204b_ed.sof and click Open.
- Verify that all the hardware setup options are set correctly to your system configurations.
- Click Start to download the file into the Arria V SoC device on the development board. Alternatively, if you want to use the pre-generated golden programming file, skip the Quartus compilation in step 6. In step 9, select <your project directory> output_files/jesd204b_ed_golden.sof and proceed accordingly.
After programming the Arria V SoC device on the development board, the system needs to be initialized via software before the JESD204B link can be fully active.
Attention: Do not skip this initialization step. The JESD204B link will not function correctly without software link initialization.
