The instructions in this chapter explain how to set up the Arria V GX starter board.
To prepare and apply power to the board, perform the following steps:
1. The Arria V GX starter board ships with its board switches preconfigured to
2. The starter board ships with design examples stored in the flash memory device.
3. Connect the +19 V, 6.32 A power adapter to the DC Power Jack (J17) on the FPGA
4. Set the POWER switch (SW5) to the on position. When power is supplied to the
The MAX V 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. FAC_LOAD (SW4.3) controls which design to
load. When the switch is in the factory off (1) position, the PFL loads the design from
the factory portion of flash memory.
The kit includes a MAX V design which contains the MAX V PFL megafunction. The
design resides in the <install
dir>\kits\arriaVGX_5agxfb3hf35_start\examples\max5 directory.
When configuration is complete, the Config Done LED (D12) illuminates, signaling
that the Arria V GX device configured successfully.
