Restoring the Flash Device to the Factory Settings

This section describes how to restore the original factory contents to the flash memory

device on the FPGA development board. Make sure you have the Nios II EDS

installed, and perform the following instructions:

1. Set the board switches to the factory default settings described in “Factory Default

Switch and Jumper Settings” on page 4–2.

2. Launch the Quartus II Programmer to configure the FPGA with a .sof capable of

flash programming. Refer to “Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II

Programmer” on page 6–27 for more information.

3. Click Add File and select <install dir>

\kits\arriaVGT_5agtfd7kf40_fpga\factory_recovery\a5gtd7k3_fpga_bup.sof.

4. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.

5. Click Start to download the selected configuration file to the FPGA. Configuration

is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. The Config Done LED (D16)

illuminates indicating that the flash device is ready for programming.

6. On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Altera > Nios II EDS > Nios II

Command Shell.

7. In the Nios II command shell, navigate to the <install

dir>\kits\arriaVGT_5agtfd7kf40_fpga\factory_recovery directory and type the

following command to run the restore script:

./restore.sh r

Restoring the flash memory might take several minutes. Follow any instructions

that appear in the Nios II command shell.

8. After all flash programming completes, cycle the POWER switch (SW1) off then

on.

9. Using the Quartus II Programmer, click Add File and select <install dir>

\kits\arriaVGT_5agtfd7kf40_fpga\factory_recovery\a5gtd7k3_fpga_bup.sof.

10. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.

11. Click Start to download the selected configuration file to the FPGA. Configuration

is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%. The Config Done LED (D16)

illuminates indicating the flash memory device is now restored with the factory

contents.

12. Cycle the POWER switch (SW1) off then on to load and run the restored factory

design.

13. The restore script cannot restore the board’s MAC address automatically. In the

Nios II command shell, type the following Nios II EDS command:

nios2-terminal -d 1 -i 0r

and follow the instructions in the terminal window to generate a unique MAC

address.
