3. Development Kit Setup
The instructions in this section explain how to setup the Cyclone V SoC Development
Kit for specific use cases.
3.1. Setting Up the Development Kit
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 the Factory Default
Switch and Jumper Settings section to return the board to its factory settings
before proceeding.
The development board ships with the Golden System Reference Design (GSRD)
binaries stored in the microSD card.
The microSD card also includes the following:
•
Hardware reference design FPGA image, Raw Binary File (.rbf) file
• HPS image preloader U-Boot and Linux images
• File system and software examples
2. Power up the development board using the included power supply adapter. Make
sure that the power supply is connected to J40 if you are using the Power Solution
2 board (MMID: 99C5L6), and to J22 if you are using the Power Solution 1 board
(MMID: 979996).
Caution: 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.
Alternatively, you can use the an ATX power from a PC by plugging a 4-pin output
from that supply to J20 on the development board.
Caution: Make sure that the ATX supply is off when connecting to the board.
Hotswap is not supported and may damage the board's power supplies
and other downstream devices.
When configuration is complete, the Config Done LED (D38) illuminates, signaling that
the Cyclone V device configured successfully.
