5. Board Test System
The Stratix V Advanced Systems Development Kit includes an application called the
Board Test System (BTS) with related design examples. The BTS 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 BTS, 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 BTS, follow the steps in “Installing the Stratix V Advanced Systems
Development Kit” on page 3–2 .
The Board Test System communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in
the Stratix V GX device.
