Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II Programmer

November 2013 Altera Corporation Cyclone V SoC Development Kit

User Guide

Set New Frequency

The Set New Frequency control sets the programmable oscillator frequency for the

selected clock to the value in the Target frequency control for the Si570 (X1) and Si571

(X3). Frequency changes might take several milliseconds to take effect. You might see

glitches on the clock during this time. Altera recommends resetting the FPGA logic

after changing frequencies.

Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II Programmer

You can use the Quartus II Programmer to configure the FPGA with your SRAM

Object File (.sof) file.

Before Configuring

Ensure the following:

■ The Quartus II Programmer and the USB-Blaster 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 II 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 II Programmer window.

■ Reselect USB-Blaster II in order to properly detect the JTAG chain.

Configuring the FPGA

Perform these steps:

1. Start the Quartus II 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%.

1 Using the Quartus II 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.
