Reset Si570
The Reset Si570 control sets the Si570 programmable oscillator to the default
frequency of 100 MHz.
Set New Frequency
The Set New Frequency control sets the Si570 programmable oscillator frequency to
the value in the Target frequency control. Frequency changes might take several
milliseconds to take effect. You might see glitches on the clock during this time.
Altera recommends resetting the FPGA logic after changing frequencies.
Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II Programmer
You can use the Quartus II Programmer to configure the FPGA with a specific .sof.
Before configuring the FPGA, ensure that the Quartus II Programmer and the
USB-Blaster driver are installed on the host computer, the USB cable is connected to
the development board, power to the board is on, and no other applications that use
the JTAG chain are running.
To configure the Stratix IV GX FPGA, perform the following steps:
1. Start the Quartus II Programmer.
2. Click Add File and select the path to the desired .sof.
3. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
4. Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. Configuration is complete
when the progress bar reaches 100%.
