4. Board Test System

The Agilex™ 5 FPGA E-Series 065B Premium Development Kit includes design examples and the board test system (BTS) graphical user interface (GUI) to test the functionality of this board. The BTS provides an easy-to-use interface to alter functional settings and observe results. You can use the BTS to test board components, modify functional parameters, observe performance, and measure power usage.

While using the BTS, you reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific to the functionality that you are testing. The BTS is also useful as a reference for designing systems. The BTS communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in the Agilex™ 5 device.

The BTS checks for hardware faults before you can use the board. If one or more BTS test items fail, it implies either a wrong hardware setting or hardware fault on specific interface.

The following figure shows the GUI of a board that is in factory configuration.
