The example design is provided as a Quartus II project. The example design targets the
10AX115S3F45I2SGES Arria 10 device in an Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit, with an HMC
mezannine card connected through the FMC connectors. To use a different device or development kit,
you must modify the project.
To set up, compile the example design, configure the example design on the device, and run the hardware
testbench on the design, follow these steps:
1. In the Quartus II software IP Catalog, under Memory Interfaces and Controllers, select Hybrid
Memory Cube Controller and click Add.
2. When prompted you must specify the IP core instance name. If you specify the name
software generates the file
.qsys
.
3. When prompted you must specify the Arria 10 device name. The example design is tested with the
10AX115S3F45I2SGES device and compiles correctly for all Arria 10 devices with the same size,
configuration, and pinout.
4. In the HMC Controller parameter editor, set the parameter values to configure your IP core variation.
5. Click the Example Design button and specify the desired location of the example design. The Quartus
II software creates an example design that includes a copy of the HMC Controller IP core.
6. Optionally, click Finish and then Yes or No to close the HMC Controller parameter editor.
7. Click File > Open Project.
