This chapter explains how to set up the Stratix IV GX FPGA development board.
To prepare and apply power to the board, perform the following steps:
1. The Stratix IV GX FPGA development board ships with its board switches
2. The FPGA development board ships with design examples stored in the flash
3. Connect the DC adapter (+16 V, 3.75 A) to the DC power jack (J4) on the FPGA
4. Set the POWER switch (SW1) to the on position. When power is supplied to the
The MAX II 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 rotary switch (SW2) controls which design to
load. When the switch is in the 0 position, the PFL loads the design from the factory
portion of flash memory. When the switch is in the 1 position, the PFL loads the
design from the user hardware portion of flash memory.
The kit includes a MAX II design which contains the MAX II PFL megafunction. The
design resides in the <install dir>\kits\stratixIVGX_4sgx230_fpga\examples\max2
directory.
When configuration is complete, the CONF DONE LED (D5) illuminates, signaling
that the Stratix IV GX device configured successfully.
For more information about the PFL megafunction, refer to
