Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements
This section describes the board's configuration, status, and setup elements.
Configuration
This section describes the FPGA, flash memory, and MAX II CPLD System Controller
device programming methods supported by the Stratix V GX transceiver signal
integrity development board.
The Stratix V GX transceiver signal integrity development board supports three
configuration methods:
■ Embedded USB-Blaster is the default method for configuring the FPGA at any
time using the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode with the supplied USB cable.
■ MAX II and flash FPP download for configuring the FPGA using stored images
from the flash on either power-up or pressing the reset push-button (S5).
■ JTAG header (J93) for initial debugging and to bring up the on-board USB-Blaster
circuitry.
FPGA Programming over Embedded USB-Blaster
Programming the FPGA over embedded USB-Blaster is implemented using a type-B
USB connector (CN1), a USB 2.0 PHY device, and an Altera MAX II CPLD
EPM2210F256C3N (U19). This allows configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable
directly connected between the USB port on the board (CN1) and a USB port of a PC
running the Quartus II software. The JTAG chain is normally mastered by the
embedded USB-Blaster found in the MAX II CPLD System Controller.
A green USB-Blaster LED (D8) indicates the USB-Blaster activity. The embedded
USB-Blaster is automatically disabled when you connect an external USB-Blaster to
the JTAG chain at the JTAG header (J93).
