4.1.1. Setting Up the Quartus® Prime Software for BTS Operation

You must install the Quartus® Prime software to support the silicon on the development kit. The recommended version is located in the readme.txt file in the top level of the package directory.

The BTS communicates over JTAG to a test design running in the FPGA. The BTS shares the JTAG with other applications such as the Nios® II JTAG Debug Module and the Signal Tap logic analyzer. Altera recommends closing other applications before using BTS, as the GUI is designed based on the Quartus® Prime software.

The BTS relies on the Quartus® Prime software's specific library. Before running the BTS, open the Quartus® Prime software to automatically set the environment variable QUARTUS_ROOTDIR. You can also change it through Environment Variables in the System Properties in Windows*. The BTS uses this environment variable to locate the Quartus® Prime library.
