4.5.1.3. GSFI Bootloader Example Design

Note: For Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software, refer to the topic Intel® Quartus® Prime Software Support to generate the example design.
You can download the GSFI bootloader example design from the Intel® FPGA Design Store. The example design is based on the Intel Arria 10 SoC Development Kit. Using the provided scripts, the hardware and software design are generated, and programmed respectively as SRAM Object Files (.sof) and JTAG Indirect Configuration Files (.jic) into the device.

Follow the steps below to generate the GSFI bootloader example design:

  1. Go to Intel® FPGA Design Store.
  2. Search for Arria10 - Bootloader GSFI Design package.
  3. Click on the link at the title.
  4. Accept the Software License Agreement.
  5. Download the package according to the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version of your host machine.
  6. Double-click to run the top.par file.
  7. top_project folder is created by default after running the PAR file.
  8. Open the top_project and refer to the readme.txt for how-to guide.
