6–2 Chapter 6: Board Test System

Introduction

Arria II GX FPGA Development Kit, 6G Edition User Guide July 2010 Altera Corporation

A GUI runs on the PC which communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design

running in the Arria II GX device. Figure 6–1 shows the 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 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.
