1.5. Compiling and Configuring the Design Example in Hardware

To compile hardware design example and configure it on your Agilex™ 5 device, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the hardware design example generation is complete.
  2. Launch the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software and open the design example project file at <design_example_dir>/hardware_test_design/eth_ex_40g.qpf.
  3. Click Processing > Start Compilation.
  4. After a successful compilation, a .sof is available in <design_example_dir>/hardwarde_test_design.
  5. To program the hardware design example, launch the Clock Controller application and set the OUT0 frequency of Si5332-2 (U412) to 156.25 MHz.
