The Cyclone III 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 PGM CONFIG SELECT rotary switch (SW5)
in position 0, the Cyclone III 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 FPGA design 1 and design 6
(HW1 and SW1) 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 FPGA design 1 and design 6 (HW1 and SW1)flash
memory, you can load the user design from flash memory into the FPGA. To do so, set
the PGM CONFIG SELECT rotary switch (SW5) to position 1 and power cycle the
board.
The source code for the Board Update Portal design resides in the <install
dir>\kits\cycloneIII_3c120_dev\examples directory. If the Board Update Portal is
corrupted or deleted from the flash memory, refer to
