Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements
This section describes the board’s configuration, status, and setup elements.
Configuration
The Stratix V GX development board supports three configuration methods:
■ On-board USB-Blaster II is the default method for configuring the FPGA at any
time using the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode with the supplied USB cable.
■ MAX II+Flash Fast Passive Parallel (FPP) download for configuring the FPGA
using stored images from flash memory on either a power-up or by pressing the
LOAD
or FACTORY push button (S5).
■ JTAG programming header (J59) for configuring the FPGA using an external
USB-Blaster (not supplied) and the Quartus II Programmer.
The following sections describe each of these methods.
FPGA Programming over On-Board USB-Blaster II
The USB-Blaster II is implemented using a USB type-B connector (J5), a USB 2.0 PHY
device, and an Altera MAX II CPLD EPM570GF100 (U62). This allows configuration
of the FPGA using a USB cable that connects directly between the USB port on the
board (J5) and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software. The on-board
USB-Blaster II normally masters the JTAG chain. The on-board USB-Blaster II
automatically disables when you connect an external USB-Blaster to the JTAG chain at
the JTAG programming header (J59).
Figure 2–3 shows a block diagram for the FPGA programming over on-board
USB-Blaster II.
