User Guide

Using this tool requires that the board be placed into quad SPI boot mode by setting

BOOTSEL1 (J29) shunt to the 1-2 position. The default position is 2-3 (SD card). The

board must be power cycled after changing this jumper for the settings to take effect.

For help and more options, type

SD Card Memory

Programming the SD Card Boot Image

The SD card is the default boot source for the HPS as selected by the BSEL jumpers.

The socket is designed to accept microSD cards. The SoC development kit comes with

a microSD card, micro-to-standard SD card adapter, and a USB programming adapter.

To program the SD card, do the following steps:

1. Insert the SD card into the USB programming adapter and insert the programming

adapter into a USB port on your PC.

2. In Windows, you should see a pop-up window asking what you'd like to do with

the flash device. Click Cancel, but note the drive letter it is mounted as.

You cannot drag and drop files onto the SD card because the file system is

different. You need to use a disk imaging program such as Win32DiskImager for

Windows, or the

command in Linux. You can also use a Cygwin installation

such as the NIOS II Embedded Development System (Nios II EDS).

3. Start the Nios II Command Shell by clicking Start > All Programs > Altera

<version> > Nios II EDS > Nios II Command Shell.

4. At this shell, type the command

ls /dev <enter>

The SD card will generally be mounted as sda, sdb, or sdc, etc., depending on other

devices that may be present.

5. To be sure which is correct, remove the card and type

ls /dev <enter>

6. Look for what changed since you type the command the first time.

7. Re-insert the SD card, and verify the name once more.

8. Type

dd if=<boot_image_filename.img> of=/dev/<sd_card_name> <enter>

Linux users use the same

commands.

1 Be careful using this programming command as it will overwrite whatever

is found on the device pointed to in the

command.
