FPGA Configuration

This section describes the FPGA, flash memory, and MAX V CPLD 5M2210 System Controller device programming methods supported by the Cyclone V E FPGA development board.

The Cyclone V E FPGA development board supports the following configuration methods:

  • Embedded USB-Blaster II is the default method for configuring the FPGA using the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode with the supplied USB cable.
  •  Flash memory download for configuring the FPGA using stored images from the flash memory on either power-up or pressing the program configuration push button (S1).
  • External USB-Blaster for configuring the FPGA using an external USB-Blaster that connects to the JTAG chain header (J4).
  • EPCQ device for serial or quad-serial FPGA configuration that supports AS x1 or AS x4 configuration schemes.

FPGA Programming over Embedded USB-Blaster II
This configuration method implements a USB type-B connector (J10), a USB 2.0 PHY device (U18), and an Altera MAX II CPLD EPM570GF100I5N (U16) to allow FPGA configuration using a USB cable. This USB cable connects directly between the USB type-B connector on the board and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software.
The embedded USB-Blaster II in the MAX II CPLD EPM570GF100I5N normally masters the JTAG chain.

Figure 2–3 illustrates the JTAG chain.

ALTERA-Cyclone-V-E-FPGA-Development-Board-fig-4

The JTAG chain control DIP switch (SW2) controls the jumpers shown in Figure 2–3.
To connect a device or interface in the chain, their corresponding switch must be in the OFF position. Slide all the switches to the ON position to only have the FPGA in the chain.

The MAX V CPLD 5M2210 System Controller must be in the JTAG chain to use some of the GUI interfaces.

Table 2–5 lists the USB 2.0 PHY schematic signal names and their corresponding Cyclone V E FPGA pin numbers.

FPGA Programming from Flash Memory

Flash memory programming is possible through a variety of methods. The default method is to use the factory design—Board Update Portal. This design is an embedded webserver, which serves the Board Update Portal web page. The web page allows you to select new FPGA designs including hardware, software, or both in an industry-standard S-Record File (.flash) and write the design to the user hardware page (page 1) of the flash memory over the network.

The secondary method is to use the pre-built parallel flash loader (PFL) design included in the development kit. The development board implements the Altera PFL megafunction for flash memory programming. The PFL megafunction is a block of logic that is programmed into an Altera programmable logic device (FPGA or CPLD). The PFL functions as a utility for writing to a compatible flash memory device. This pre-built design contains the PFL megafunction that allows you to write either page 0, page 1, or other areas of flash memory over the USB interface using the Quartus II software. This method is used to restore the development board to its factory default settings.

Other methods to program the flash memory can be used as well, including the Nios® II processor.

For more information on the Nios II processor, refer to the Nios II Processor page of the Altera website.
On either power-up or by pressing the program configuration push button, PGM_CONFIG (S1), the MAX V CPLD 5M2210 System Controller’s PFL configures the FPGA from the flash memory. The PFL megafunction reads 16-bit data from the flash memory and converts it to fast passive parallel (FPP) format. This 16-bit data is then written to the dedicated configuration pins in the FPGA during configuration.
Pressing the PGM_CONFIG push button (S1) loads the FPGA with a hardware page based on which PGM_LED[2:0] (D25, D26, D27) illuminates. Table 2–6 lists the design that loads when you press the PGM_CONFIG push button.

Table 2–6. PGM_LED Settings (1)

For more information on the following topics, refer to the respective documents:

  • Board Update Portal, PFL design, and flash memory map storage, refer to the Cyclone V E FPGA Development Kit User Guide.
  • PFL megafunction, refer to Parallel Flash Loader Megafunction User Guide.

FPGA Programming over External USB-Blaster
The JTAG chain header provides another method for configuring the FPGA using an external USB-Blaster device with the Quartus II Programmer running on a PC. To prevent contention between the JTAG masters, the embedded USB-Blaster is automatically disabled when you connect an external USB-Blaster to the JTAG chain through the JTAG chain header.

FPGA Programming using EPCQ
The low-cost ECPQ device with non-volatile memory features a simple six-pin interface and a small form factor. The ECPQ supports AS x1 and x4 modes. By default, this board has a FPP configuration scheme setting. In order to set the configuration scheme to AS mode, resistor rework needs to be done. Configure the MSEL setting using the MSEL DIP switch (SW1) to change the configuration scheme.

Figure 2–5 shows the connection between the EPCQ and the Cyclone V E FPGA.

The PHY-to-MAC interfaces employ RGMII interface. The MAC function must be provided in the FPGA for typical networking applications. The Marvell 88E1111 PHY uses 2.5-V and 1.0-V power rails and requires a 25-MHz reference clock driven from a dedicated oscillator. The PHY interfaces to a RJ45 model with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper lines with Ethernet traffic.

Figure 2–7 shows the RGMII interface between the FPGA (MAC) and Marvell 88E1111 PHY.

HSMC

  • The development board supports a HSMC interface. The HSMC interface supports a full SPI4.2 interface (17 LVDS channels), three input and output clocks, as well as JTAG and SMB signals. The LVDS channels can be used for CMOS signaling or LVDS.
  • The HSMC is an Altera-developed open specification, which allows you to expand the functionality of the development board through the addition of daughtercards (HSMCs).
  • For more information about the HSMC specification such as signaling standards, signal integrity, compatible connectors, and mechanical information, refer to the High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) Specification manual.
  • The HSMC connector has a total of 172 pins, including 120 signal pins, 39 power pins, and 13 ground pins. The ground pins are located between the two rows of signal and power pins, acting both as a shield and a reference. The HSMC host connector is based on the 0.5 mm-pitch QSH/QTH family of high-speed, board-to-board connectors from Samtec. There are three banks in this connector. Bank 1 has every third pin removed as done in the QSH-DP/QTH-DP series. Bank 2 and bank 3 have all the pins populated as done in the QSH/QTH series. Since the Cyclone V E FPGA development board is not a transceiver board, the transceiver pins of the HSMC is not connected to the Cyclone V E FPGA device.

Figure 2–8 shows the bank arrangement of signals with respect to the Samtec connector’s three banks.

Figure 2–8. HSMC Signal and Bank Diagram

ALTERA-Cyclone-V-E-FPGA-Development-Board-fig-9

The HSMC interface has programmable bi-directional I/O pins that can be used as 2.5-V LVCMOS, which is 3.3-V LVTTL-compatible. These pins can also be used as various differential I/O standards including, but not limited to, LVDS, mini-LVDS, and RSDS with up to 17 full-duplex channels.
As noted in the High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) Specification manual, LVDS and single-ended I/O standards are only guaranteed to function when mixed according toeither the generic single-ended pin-out or generic differential pin-out.

RS-232 Serial UART
A female angled DSUB 9-pin connector along with a supporting RS-232 transceiver provides support for implementing a standard RS-232 serial UART channel on this board. The connector has the same pinouts as a data terminal device and requires only a standard cable (no null modem required for PC interface). A dedicated level-shifting buffer is used to translate between LVTTL and RS-232 levels. Board references D23 and D24 are serial UART LEDs that illuminate to indicate RX and TX activity.

Table 2–24 lists the RS-232 serial UART pin assignments, signal names, and functions.

The signal names and types are relative to the Cyclone V E FPGA in terms of I/O setting and direction.

Power Supply
You can power up the development board from a laptop-style DC power input. The input voltage must be in the range of 14 V to 20 V, current of 4.3 A, and a maximum wattage of 65 W. The DC voltage is then stepped down to various power rails used by the board components and installed into the HSMC connectors. An on-board multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) measures the current for several specific board rails.

Power Distribution System
Figure 2–9 shows the power distribution system on the development board. Regulator inefficiencies and sharing are reflected in the currents shown, which are conservative absolute maximum levels.

Figure 2–9. Power Distribution System

ALTERA-Cyclone-V-E-FPGA-Development-Board-fig-10

Power Measurement
There are eight power supply rails that have on-board current sense capabilities using 24-bit differential ADC devices. Precision sense resistors split the ADC devices and rails from the primary supply plane for the ADC to measure current. A SPI bus connects these ADC devices to the MAX V CPLD 5M2210 System Controller.

Figure 2–10 shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.

ALTERA-Cyclone-V-E-FPGA-Development-Board-fig-11

Table 2–29 lists the targeted rails. The schematic signal name column specifies the name of the rail being measured while the device pin column specifies the devices attached to the rail.
