Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit User Guide
The application allows you to exercise most of the board components. While using the
application, you reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific to the
functionality you are testing. A GUI runs on the PC which communicates over the
JTAG bus to a test design running in the Stratix IV GX device.
initial GUI for a board that is in the factory configuration.
Several designs are provided to test the major board features. Each design provides
data for one or more tabs in the application. The Configure menu identifies the
appropriate design to download to the FPGA for each tab.
After successful FPGA configuration, the appropriate tab appears and allows you to
exercise the related board features. Highlights appear in the board picture around the
corresponding components.
The Power Monitor button starts the Power Monitor application that measures and
reports current power and temperature information for the board. Because the
application communicates over the JTAG bus to the MAX II device, you can measure
the power of any design in the FPGA, including your own designs.
