6. Board Test System

Introduction

The kit includes an example design and application called the Board Test System to

test the functionality of the Stratix IV GX FPGA development board and SDI HSMC

daughtercard. The application provides an easy-to-use interface to alter functional

settings and observe the results. You can use the application to test board

components, modify functional parameters, observe performance, and measure

power usage. The application is also useful as a reference for designing systems. To

install the application, follow the steps in “Installing the Audio Video Development

Kit, Stratix IV GX Edition” on page 3–2.

The application provides access to the following Stratix IV GX FPGA development

boar

d features:

■ General purpose I/O (GPIO)

■ SRAM

■ Flash memory

■ DDR3 and QDR II+ memories

■ HSMC connectors

■ High-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) and SDI video

The application allows you to exercise most of the board components. While using the

appl

ication, 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

unning in the Stratix IV GX device. Figure 6–1 shows the initial GUI for a board that

is in the factory configuration.
