The Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit ships with the Board Update Portal design
example stored in the factory portion of the flash memory on the board. The design
consists of a Nios II embedded processor, an Ethernet MAC, and an HTML web
server.
When you power up the board with the rotary switch (SW2) in the 0 position, the
Stratix IV GX FPGA configures with the Board Update Portal design example. The
design can obtain an IP address from any DHCP server and serve a web page from the
flash on your board to any host computer on the same network. The web page allows
you to upload new FPGA designs to the user hardware portion of flash memory, and
provides links to useful information on the Altera website, including links to
kit-specific and design resources.
After successfully updating the user hardware flash memory, you can load the user
design from flash memory into the FPGA. To do so, set the rotary switch (SW2) to the
1 position and power cycle the board.
The source code for the Board Update Portal design resides in the
<install dir>\kits\stratixIVGX_4sgx230_fpga\examples directory. If the Board
Update Portal is corrupted or deleted from the flash memory, refer to
