Intel altera Cyclone V SoC - Board Test System

5. Board Test System
The Cyclone V SoC Development Kit includes design examples and the board test
system (BTS) GUI to test the functionality of this board. The BTS provides an easy-to-
use interface to alter functional settings and observe results. You can use the BTS to
test board components, modify functional parameters, observe performance, and
measure power usage.
To install the BTS, follow the steps in the Installing the Development Kit section.
While using the BTS, you reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific
to the functionality that you are testing. The BTS is also useful as a reference for
designing systems. The BTS communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running
in the Cyclone V device.
The BTS checks for hardware faults before you can use the board. If one or more BTS
test items fail, it implies either a wrong hardware setting or hardware fault on specific
interface.
The following figure shows the GUI of a board that is in 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.
