AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ Arria 10 GX Quick Start Guide

arria10-fpga_daq3.jpg

NOTE:
Support for the A10GX carrier is discontinued and will not be supported in future releases. Last pre-build images can be found at Nios2 Linux on the Altera FPGA Development Boards page.

This guide provides some quick instructions on how to setup the AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ on A10GX

Prerequisites

Required Hardware

Required Software

  • You need a Host PC (Windows)
  • Intel Quartus 21.2
  • Bitfile and Linux ELF image
  • IIO Scope Download
Pre-build Images for Intel Arria 10 GX.

Setting up the hardware (A10GX)

You will need to: arria10-fpga-kit.jpg

  1. Get the A10GX board.
  2. Connect the AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ FMC board to the FPGA carrier FMC1 socket(J1).
  3. Connect the USB JTAG J3 (Micro USB) to your Host PC.
  4. Connect the Ethernet cable.
  5. Plug the Power Supply into 12V Power input connector (DC Input).
  6. Turn it on.

All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection.

Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.

Programming the FPGA

Nios II Command Shell is used to program the FPGA. To run Nios II Command Shell navigate to C:\intelFPGA_pro\21.2\nios2eds and start Nios II Command Shell.bat. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) needs to be installed in order to run Nios II Command Shell.

After starting the Command Shell, navigate to the path where the pre-build images are saved. For example: 

ceshu@LADACE-L02:/mnt/c/intelFPGA_pro/21.2/nios2eds$ cd /mnt/c/Users/ladace/Downloads/a10gx_daq3_2016_r1/

Programming FPGA bitfiled image

To flash the bitfield pre-build image, nios2-configure-sof command is used. For example: 

ceshu@LADACE-L02:/mnt/c/Users/ladace/Downloads/a10gx_daq3_2016_r1$ nios2-configure-sof daq3_a10gx.sof

Programming Linux image

To flash the Linux pre-build image, nios2-download command is used. For example: 

ceshu@LADACE-L02:/mnt/c/Users/ladace/Downloads/a10gx_daq3_2016_r1$ nios2-download -g zImage
