4.1. Setting Up the Board

Following are the steps to configure and apply power to the board:

  1. The FPGA development board ships with its board switches preconfigured to support the design examples in the kit. If your board might not be currently configured with the default settings, follow the instructions in Factory Default Switch and Jumper Settings before proceeding.
  2. The FPGA development board ships with design examples stored in flash memory. Verify the SW4.3 DIP switch is set to the FACT ON (logic 0) position to load the design stored in the factory portion of flash memory.

The FPGA development board can be powered by the PCIe* host adapter or the laptop power adapter. If you want to power the board by the PCIe* host system, plug the FPGA development card into a standard PCIe* connector. Alternatively, to power the FPGA development board using the laptop power adaptor, perform the following two steps:

  1. Connect the +19 V (6.32 A) power supply to the DC Power Jack (J8) on the FPGA board and plug the cord into a power outlet.

    Use only the supplied power supply. Power regulation circuitry on the board can be damaged by power supplies with greater voltage, and a lower-rated power supply may not be able to provide enough power for the board.

  2. Set the POWER switch (SW2) to the ON position. When power is supplied to the board, blue LED (D21) illuminates indicating that the board has power.

The MAX® V device on the board contains (among other things) a parallel flash loader (PFL) megafunction. When the board powers up, the PFL reads a design from flash memory and configures the FPGA. The SW4.3 DIP switch controls which design to load. When the switch is in the FACT ON (logic 0) position, the PFL loads the design from the factory portion of flash memory.

The MAX® V design resides in the <install dir>\kits\cycloneVGT_5cgtfd9ef35_fpga\examples\max5 directory.

When configuration is complete, the Config Done LED (D7) illuminates, signaling that the Cyclone® V GT device configured successfully.

For more information about the PFL megafunction, refer to the Parallel Flash Loaded Megafunction User Guide.
