PMC Card Interface (Stratix Nios PMC)
This test requires a user-provided PCI card that is plugged into the PMC
connector located on the back of the board. The test results depend on the
card you installed. For this test, perform the following steps.
1. Move the serial cable to the Stratix RS-232 connector (top connector
of RS-232).
2. Change programming file for the Stratix device to the pt_1s40.sof
file. Wait until the checksum field is updated.
3. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the Stratix device.
4. Click Start. When configuration is complete, the S_CONF_DONE
LED illuminates.

(Windows Start menu).
6. Change to the Nios SOFs directory by typing the following
command:

a Nios prompt.
9. Confirm that you are connected to the Nios processor running on
the board by pressing the Enter key a few times in the terminal
window to display the processor’s memory contents.
10. Exit the terminal window by pressing the Ctrl + C keys.
11. Start the test by typing nr pt.srec r. This test enumerates the
PCI bus and gives information on the PCI card connected to the PCI
bus. Observe the results to see if they match your expectations for
the PCI card you installed. Figure 5–20 shows an example of what
you should see in the terminal window.
