Development Board Setup This chapter explains how to set up the Stratix V GX 100G development board. Setting Up the Board To prepare and apply power to the board, perform the following steps: 1. The Stratix V GX 100G development board ships with its board switches preconfigured to support the design examples in the kit. If you suspect your board might not be currently configured with the default settings, follow the instructions in “Factory Default Switch Settings” on page 4–2 to return the board to its factory settings before proceeding. 2. Connect the +19 V, 120 W to the DC Power Jack (J1) on the FPGA board and plug the cord into a power outlet. c Use only the supplied power supply. Power regulation circuitry on the board can be damaged by power supplies with greater voltage. 3. Set the POWER switch (SW1) to the on position. When power is supplied to the board, blue LED (D1) illuminates indicating that the board has power. The MAX II device on the board contains (among other things) a parallel flash loader (PFL) megafunction. When the board powers up, the PFL reads a design from flash memory and configures the FPGA. Pressing the PGM_SEL (S8) push-button loads the design into the FPGA from flash using the PFL in the MAX II device. When configuration is complete, the MAX_CONF_DN LED (D25) illuminates, signaling that the Stratix V GX device configured successfully. 1 The kit includes a MAX II design which contains the MAX II PFL megafunction. The design resides in the \kits\stratixVGX_5sgxea7nf45_100g\examples\max2 directory. f For more information about the PFL megafunction, refer to AN 386: Parallel Flash Loader Megafunction User Guide.

The design consists of a Nios II embedded processor, an Ethernet MAC, and an HTML web server. When you power up the board, the FPGA configures with the with the Board Update Portal design example from flash memory. The design can obtain an IP address from any DHCP server and serve a web page from the flash on your board to any host computer on the same network. The web page allows you to upload new FPGA designs to the user hardware 1 portion of flash memory and provides kit-specific links and design resources. The source code for the Board Update Portal design resides in the \kits\stratixVGX_5sgxea7nf45_100g\examples directory. If the Board Update Portal is corrupted or deleted from the flash memory, refer to “Restoring the Flash Device to the Factory Settings” on page A–4 to restore the board with its original factory contents. Connecting to the Board Update Portal Web Page This section provides instructions to connect to the Board Update Portal web page. 1 Before you proceed, ensure that you have the following: ■ A PC with a connection to a working Ethernet port on a DHCP enabled network. ■ A separate working Ethernet port connected to the same network for the board. ■ The Ethernet and power cables that are included in the kit. To connect to the Board Update Portal web page, perform these steps: 1. Attach the Ethernet cable from the board to your LAN. 2. Power up the board. The board connects to the LAN’s gateway router, and then obtains an IP address. The LCD on the board displays the IP address. 3. Launch a web browser on a PC that is connected to the same network, and enter the IP address from the LCD into the browser address bar. The Board Update Portal web page appears in the browser. 1 You can click Stratix V GX 100G Development Kit on the Board Update Portal web page to access the kit’s home page for documentation updates and additional new designs. Using the Board Update Portal to Update User Designs The Board Update Portal allows you to write new designs to the user hardware 1 portion of flash memory. Designs must be in the Nios II Flash Programmer File (.flash) format. January 2016 Altera Corporation 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide 5–2 Chapter 5: Board Update Portal Using the Board Update Portal to Update User Designs 1 Design files available from the 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX page include .flash files.

To upload a design over the network into the user portion of flash memory on your board, perform the following steps: 1. Perform the steps in “Connecting to the Board Update Portal Web Page” to access the Board Update Portal web page. 2. In the Hardware File Name field specify the .flash file that you either downloaded from the Altera website or created on your own. If there is a software component to the design, specify it in the same manner using the Software File Name field; otherwise, leave the Software File Name field blank. 3. Click Upload. 4. To configure the FPGA with the new user design after the flash memory upload process is complete, press PGM_SEL (S8) until POF 1 LED (D34) illuminates, and then press LOAD (S5) to configure the user hardware portion of flash memory. 1 As long as you don’t overwrite the factory image in the flash memory device, you can continue to use the Board Update Portal to write new designs to the user hardware 1 portion of flash memory. If you do overwrite the factory image, you can restore it by following the instructions in “Restoring the Flash Device to the Factory Settings” on page A–4. 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide January 2016 Altera Corporation 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 100G 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 GUI communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in the Stratix V GX device. 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. After successful FPGA configuration, the appropriate tab appears and allows you to exercise the related board features. Highlights appear in the board picture around the corresponding components. Preparing the Board With the power to the board off, following these steps: 1. Connect the USB cable to the board. 2. Ensure that the development board switches and jumpers are set to the default positions as shown in the “Factory Default Switch Settings” section starting on page 4–2. f For more information about the board’s DIP switch and jumper settings, refer to the 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition Reference Manual. 3. Turn on the power to the board. The board loads the design stored in the user hardware 1 portion of flash memory into the FPGA. If your board is still in the factory configuration, or if you have downloaded a newer version of the Board Test System to flash memory through the Board Update Portal, the design loads the GPIO and flash memory tests. c To ensure operating stability, keep the USB cable connected and the board powered on when running the demonstration application. The application cannot run correctly unless the USB cable is attached and the board is on. Running the Board Test System To run the application, navigate to the \kits\stratixVGX_5sgxea7nf45_100g\examples\board_test_system directory and run the BoardTestSystem.exe application. January 2016 Altera Corporation 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide 6–2 Chapter 6: Board Test System Using the Board Test System 1 On Windows, click Start > All Programs > Altera > Stratix V GX 100G Development Kit > Board Test System to run the application. A GUI appears, displaying the application tab that corresponds to the design running in the FPGA. c If using the optic modules (CFP, SFP, QSFP) you must set the user switch SW4.7 to enabled (1) to turn on the laser. When done using the optics, set SW4.7 to disabled (0). Using the Board Test System This section describes each control in the Board Test System application. 1 The Board Test System and Power Monitor share the JTAG bus with other applications like the Nios II debugger and the SignalTap® II Embedded Logic Analyzer. Because the Quartus II programmer uses most of the bandwidth of the JTAG bus, other applications using the JTAG bus might time out. Be sure to close the other applications before attempting to reconfigure the FPGA using the Quartus II Programmer. The Configure Menu Use the Configure menu (Figure 6–1) to select the design you want to use. Each design example tests different functions that corresponds to one or more application tabs. Figure 6–1. The Configure Menu To configure the FPGA with a test system design, perform the following steps: 1. On the Configure menu, click the configure command that corresponds to the functionality you wish to test. 2. In the dialog box that appears, click Configure or Download Start to download the corresponding design’s Raw-Binary Format (.rbf) configuration file to the FPGA. The download process usually takes about a minute. 3. When configuration finishes, close the Quartus II Programmer if open. The design begins running in the FPGA. The corresponding GUI application tabs that interface with the design are now enabled. 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide January 2016 Altera Corporation Chapter 6: Board Test System Using the Board Test System 6–3 The System Info Tab The System Info tab shows board’s current configuration. This tab displays the contents of the MAX II registers, the JTAG chain, the board’s MAC address, the flash memory map, and other details stored on the board.

MAX II Registers The MAX II registers control allow you to view and change the current MAX II register values as described in Table 6–1. Changes to the register values with the GUI take effect immediately. For example, writing a 0 to SRST resets the board. Table 6–1. MAX II Registers Register Name Read/Write Capability Description System Reset (SRST) Write only Set to 0 to initiate an FPGA reconfiguration. Page Select Register (PSR) Read / Write Determines which of the flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. The flash memory ships with pages 0 and 1 preconfigured. Read / Write When set to 0, the value in PSR determines the page of flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. When set to 1, the value in PSS determines the page of flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. Page Select Override (PSO) Holds the current value of the illuminated USER_POF LEDs (D32, D33, D34). Page Select Switch (PSS) Read only ■ 0 = USER_POF1 LED (D34) ■ 1 = USER_POF2 LED (D33) ■ 2 = USER_POF3 LED (D32) c This state selects a page not supported by the default memory map. Use of this extra page may require the flash to be re-imaged if you want to return to the factory state. ■ SRST—Resets the system and reloads the FPGA with a design from flash memory based on the other MAX II register values. 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide January 2016 Altera Corporation Chapter 6: Board Test System Using the Board Test System ■ 1 6–5 PSO—Sets the MAX II PSO register. The following options are available: ■ Use PSR—Allows the PSR to determine the page of flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. ■ Use PSS—Allows the PSS to determine the page of flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. ■ PSS—Displays the MAX II PSS register value. ■ PSR—Sets the MAX II PSR register. The numerical values in the list corresponds to the page of flash memory to load during FPGA reconfiguration. Refer to Table 6–1 for more information. Because the System Info tab requires that a specific design is running in the FPGA at a specific clock speed, writing a 0 to SRST; or changing the PSO value can cause the Board Test System to stop running. JTAG Chain The JTAG chain control shows all the devices currently in the JTAG chain. The Stratix V GX device is always the first device in the chain. 1 January 2016 MAX_JTAG_EN (J62) includes the MAX II device in the JTAG chain when a jumper is not installed.

Figure 6–8 shows the Clock Control. Figure 6–8. The Clock Control The following sections describe the Clock Control controls. Clock Tabs There are three tabs to control each clock generator device. The U53 Si5338 tab controls the clocks to the Stratix V fabric clock input and the reference clocks for all the optical interfaces. The default is 100 MHz for the fabric and 644.53125 MHz for the reference clocks for the transceivers. The U44 Si5338 tab controls the clocks for the DDR3 and the Interlaken interface; its default is 100MHz for the DDR3 interface and 625MHz for the Interlaken interface. The U22 Si5338 tab controls the clocks for the QDR II interface and the transceivers for the optical interfaces. The default frequencies for these interfaces are 100MHz for the QDR II interface and 644.53125 MHz for the transceivers. Registers The Registers control shows the current values from the clock driver. Frequency Enter the desired frequencies for each CLK. The range of this GUI is from 5 MHz to 710 MHz. There are some limitations for what frequency combinations are allowed. Disable The Disable controls enables and disables all or selected outputs of the clock generators. 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide January 2016 Altera Corporation Chapter 6: Board Test System Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II Programmer 6–17 Read Reads the register values and calculates the frequency based on these values. Default This control sets the frequency for the oscillator associated with the active tab back to its default value. This can also be accomplished by power cycling the board. Set New Frequency The Set New Frequency control sets the Si5338 programmable oscillator frequency to the value in the Target frequency control. Frequency changes might take several milliseconds to take effect. You might see glitches on the clock during this time. Altera recommends resetting the FPGA logic after changing frequencies. Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II Programmer You can use the Quartus II Programmer to configure the FPGA with a specific .sof. Before configuring the FPGA, ensure that the Quartus II Programmer and the USB-Blaster driver are installed on the host computer, the USB cable is connected to the 100G development board, power to the board is on, and no other applications that use the JTAG chain are running. To configure the Stratix V GX FPGA, perform the following steps: 1. Start the Quartus II Programmer. 2. Click Auto Detect to display the devices in the JTAG chain. 3. Click Add File and select the path to the desired .sof. 4. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file. 5. Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. Configuration is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. 1 January 2016 Using the Quartus II programmer to configure a device on the board causes other JTAG-based applications such as the Board Test System and the Power Monitor to lose their connection to the board. Restart those applications after configuration is complete.

Programming the Flash Memory Device As you develop your own project using the Altera tools, you can program the flash memory device so that your own design loads from flash memory into the FPGA on power up. This appendix describes the preprogrammed contents of the common flash interface (CFI) flash memory device on the Stratix V GX 100G development board and the Nios II EDS tools involved with reprogramming the user portions of the flash memory device. The Stratix V GX 100G development board ships with the CFI flash device preprogrammed with a default factory FPGA configuration for running the Board Update Portal design example and a default user configuration for running the Board Test System demonstration. There are several other factory software files written to the CFI flash device to support the Board Update Portal. These software files were created using the Nios II EDS, just as the hardware design was created using the Quartus II software. f For more information about Altera development tools, refer to the Design Software page of the Altera website. CFI Flash Memory Map Table A–1 shows the default memory contents of the 1-Gb CFI flash device. For the Board Update Portal to run correctly and update designs in the user memory, this memory map must not be altered. Table A–1.

If you unintentionally overwrite the factory hardware or factory software image, refer to “Restoring the Flash Device to the Factory Settings” on page A–4. January 2016 Altera Corporation 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide A–2 Appendix A: Programming the Flash Memory Device Preparing Design Files for Flash Programming Preparing Design Files for Flash Programming You can obtain designs containing prepared .flash files from the 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX page of the Altera website or create .flash files from your own custom design. The Nios II EDS sof2flash command line utility converts your Quartus II-compiled .sof into the .flash format necessary for the flash device. Similarly, the Nios II EDS elf2flash command line utility converts your compiled and linked Executable and Linking Format File (.elf) software design to .flash. After your design files are in the .flash format, use the Board Update Portal or the Nios II EDS nios2-flash-programmer utility to write the .flash files to the user hardware 1 and user software locations of the flash memory. f For more information about Nios II EDS software tools and practices, refer to the Embedded Software Development page of the Altera website. Creating Flash Files Using the Nios II EDS If you have an FPGA design developed using the Quartus II software, and software developed using the Nios II EDS, follow these instructions: 1. On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Altera > Nios II EDS > Nios II Command Shell. 2. In the Nios II command shell, navigate to the directory where your design files reside and type the following Nios II EDS commands: ■ For Quartus II .sof files: sof2flash --input=_hw.sof --output=_hw.flash --offset=0x020A0000 --pfl --optionbit=0x00081000 --programmingmode=PSr ■ For Nios II .elf files: elf2flash --base=0x0 --end=0x07FFFFFF --reset=0x07160000 --input=_sw.elf --output=_sw.flash --boot=$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/components/altera_nios2/boot_loader_cfi.srecr The resulting .flash files are ready for flash device programming. If your design uses additional files such as image data or files used by the runtime program, you must first convert the files to .flash format and concatenate them into one .flash file before using the Board Update Portal to upload them. 1 The Board Update Portal standard .flash format conventionally uses either _hw.flash for hardware design files or _sw.flash for software design files. Programming Flash Memory Using the Board Update Portal Once you have the necessary .flash files, you can use the Board Update Portal to reprogram the flash memory. Refer to “Using the Board Update Portal to Update User Designs” on page 5–1 for more information. 100G Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition User Guide January 2016 Altera Corporation Appendix A: Programming the Flash Memory Device Programming Flash Memory Using the Nios II EDS 1 A–3 If you have generated a .sof that operates without a software design file, you can still use the Board Update Portal to upload your design. In this case, leave the Software File Name field blank. Programming Flash Memory Using the Nios II EDS The Nios II EDS offers a nios2-flash-programmer utility to program the flash memory directly. To program the .flash files or any compatible S-Record File (.srec) to the board using nios2-flash-programmer, perform the following steps: 1. Attach the USB-Blaster cable and power up the board. 2. If the board has powered up and the LCD displays either Connecting... or a valid IP address (such as 152.198.231.75), proceed to step 7.
