Altera Arria V GT FPGA - Manual (Page 23)

November 2012 Altera Corporation Arria V GT FPGA Development Kit
User Guide
6. Board Test System
The kit includes a design example and an application called the Board Test System
(BTS) to test the functionality of the Arria V GT FPGA development board
and
supported daughtercards. The application provides an easy-to-use interface to alter
functional settings and observe the results. You can use the BTS to test board
components, modify functional parameters, observe performance, and measure
power usage. While using the application, you reconfigure the FPGA several times
with test designs specific to the functionality you are testing. The BTS is also useful as
a reference for designing systems. To install the application, follow the steps in
“Installing the Development Kit” on page 3–3 .
The Board Test System GUI communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running
in the Arria V GT device.
Figure 6–1 shows the initial GUI for a board that is in the
factory configuration.
