2.6. Setting Up your Development Board for the Drive-On-Chip with Functional Safety Design Example for Agilex 7 Devices

  1. Configure the board switches. Refer to GSRD for Agilex 7 F-Series Transceiver-SoC DevKit (P-Tile and E-Tile).
  2. Ensure you create an SD card Image for the project refer to Creating SD Card Image.

    2.

    3. Using Disk Imager or other, copy the previously generated image (gsrd-console-image-agilex7.wic) to the SD card

  3. Using Disk Imager or other, copy the SD card image in images named gsrd-console-image-agilex7.wic
  4. Connect the UBS type B cable to the board to the integrated Intel FPGA download cable (or use an external Intel FPGA download cable).
  5. To program the .jic file in the QSPI, navigate to images change the MSEL switch to JTAG (SW1: ON-ON-ON-ON) and run:
    >> quartus_pgm -c 1 -m jtag -o "pvi;agilex7_dk_si_agf014ea.hps.jic"
  6. Turn the MSEL switch back to QSPI (SW1: ON-OFF-OFF-ON)
  7. Turn on the board. The Linux systems boots. The image for the FPGA is configured during booting.
  8. Connect a mini USB cable from the OOBE (J7) board to your PC and run a serial port terminal emulator like Putty, Minicom, the configuration is as follows for minicom:
    >> sudo minicom -s
    • Serial Device: /dev/ttyUSB0 (edit to match the system as necessary)
    • Bps/Par/Bits: 115200 8N1
    • Hardware Flow Control: No
    • Software Flow Control: No
    • Press [ESC] to return to the main configuration menu.
    The safety function starts immediately.
