1.1.4. Compiling and Testing the Design

The JESD204B parameter editor allows you to run the design example on a target development kit.

Perform the following steps to compile the design and program the development board:

  1. Launch the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and compile the design (Processing > Start Compilation).
    The timing constraints and pin assignments for the design example and the design components are automatically loaded during design example compilation.
  2. Connect the development board to the host computer either by connecting a USB cable to the on-board Intel® FPGA Download Cable II component or using an external Intel® FPGA Download Cable II module to connect to the external JTAG connector.
  3. If you are performing external FMC loopback test, attach the FMC loopback card to the FMC port A connector.
  4. Launch the Clock Control application that is included with the development board, and set the clock settings according to the selected data rate.
    Note: Refer to the Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA Development Kit documentation for more information on using the Clock Control application.

    Figure 4. Clock Control GUI SettingThis example shows the clock control GUI setting for 6.144 Gbps data rate.
  5. Configure the FPGA on the development board with the generated programming file (.sof file) using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer.
3 The design example uses 153.6 MHz clock frequency for designs with data rate of 6.144 Gbps.
