6. Board Test System
The development kit includes an application called the Board Test System and related
design examples. The application provides an easy-to-use interface to alter functional
settings and observe the results. You can use the application 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.
1 The Board Test System is also useful as a reference for designing systems.
The Board Test System communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in
the Stratix V GS device.
Figure 6–1 shows the initial GUI for a board that is in the
factory configuration.
Several designs are provided to test the major board features. Each design provides
data for one or more tabs in the application. The Configure menu identifies the
appropriate design to download to the FPGA for each tab.
