Intel altera Cyclone V SoC - Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus Prime Programmer; Before Configuring; Configuring the FPGA

5.6. Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus Prime Programmer
You can use the Quartus Prime Programmer to configure the FPGA with your SRAM
Object File (.sof) file.
5.6.1. Before Configuring
Ensure the following:
• The Quartus Prime Programmer and the Intel FPGA Download Cable II driver are
installed on the host computer.
• The USB cable is connected to the development board.
• Power to the board is on, and no other applications that use the JTAG chain are
running.
If the Quartus Prime Programmer window is already open, and you power cycle the
board, to detect the JTAG chain, do the following:
• Click Hardware Setup in the Quartus Prime Programmer window.
• Reselect Intel FPGA Download Cable II in order to properly detect the JTAG chain.
5.6.2. Configuring the FPGA
Perform these steps:
1. Start the Quartus Prime 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%.
Attention: Using the Quartus Prime 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.
