Stratix V GT Edition User Guide
6. Board Test System
This kit includes an application called the Board Test System (BTS) and 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.
To install the BTS, follow the steps in “Installing the Development Kit” on page 3–3 .
The BTS communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in the Stratix V GT
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.
