4. Development Board Setup
This chapter explains how to set up the Cyclone V SoC development board.
Setting Up the Board
To prepare the board, perform these steps:
1. The 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 and Jumper Settings” on page 4–2 to return the board to its factory settings
before proceeding.
2. The development board ships with design examples stored in the flash memory.
The Golden Hardware Reference Design has the hardware FPGA image stored in
CFI flash and the software is stored in the micro SD card flash memory. Verify the
DIP switch (SW2.3) is set to the off (1) position to load the design stored in the
factory portion of flash memory.
1 You can power the development board by an external ATX supply using the 4-pin
input J20. Alternatively, you can use the laptop power adaptor by performing the
following two steps:
3. Connect the 65 W, 19 VDC @ 6.3 A power supply to the DC Power Jack (J22) 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, and a
lower-rated power supply may not be able to provide enough power for the
board.
4. Set the POWER switch (SW5) to the on position. When power is supplied to the
board, blue LED (D35) illuminates indicating that the board has power.
The MAX V 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. The DIP switch (SW2.3) controls which design to
load. When the switch is in the off (1) position, the PFL loads the design from the
factory portion of flash memory.
1 The kit includes a MAX V design which contains the MAX V PFL megafunction. The
design resides in the <install
dir>\kits\cycloneVSX_5csxfc6df31es_soc\examples\max5 directory.
When configuration is complete, the Config Done LED (D38) illuminates, signaling
that the Cyclone V device configured successfully.

Megafunction User Guide.
