Altera Signal Integrity Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition - Manual (Page 21)

Stratix V GX Edition User Guide
6. Board Test System
The kit includes a design example and an application called the Board Test System to
test the functionality of the Stratix V GX transceiver signal integrity development
board. 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.) The application 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 communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in
the Stratix V GX device.
