The Cyclone IV GX Transceiver Starter Kit ships with the Board Update Portal design
example stored in the factory portion of the flash memory on the board. The design
consists of a Nios II embedded processor, an Ethernet MAC, and an HTML web
server.
When you power up the board with the USER_PGM switch (S8.2) in the off position,
the Cyclone IV GX FPGA configures with the Board Update Portal design example.
The design can obtain an IP address from any DHCP server and serve a web page
from the flash on your board to any host computer on the same network. The web
page allows you to upload new FPGA designs to the user hardware 1 portion of flash
memory, and provides links to useful information on the Altera website, including
links to kit-specific and design resources.
After successfully updating the user hardware 1 flash memory, you can load the user
design from flash memory into the FPGA. To do so, set the USER_PGM switch (S8.2)
to the on position and power cycle the board.
The source code for the Board Update Portal design resides in the <install
dir>\kits\cycloneIVGX_4cgx15_starter\examples directory. If the Board Update
Portal is corrupted or deleted from the flash memory, refer to
