3. Development Board Setup
Instructions The instructions in this section explain how to install the development
board and run the ready-to-run applications using the LCD Color Touch
Panel.
Requirements If not already installed, you should:
1. Install the Quartus II Web Edition software on the host computer.
For more information, refer to
“Installing the Quartus II Web
Edition Software ” on page 2–1 .
2. Install the Altera Embedded Systems Development Kit, Cyclone III
Edition. For more information, refer to
“Installing the Altera
Embedded Systems Development Kit, Cyclone III Edition ” on
page 2–3
.
3. Install the USB-Blaster driver software on the host computer. The
Cyclone III FPGA development board includes integrated
USB-Blaster circuitry so no USB-Blaster module is required for this
board.
1 The USB-Blaster driver software is provided with the Quartus II
software installation. Communication between the host
computer and the development board requires that the USB-
Blaster driver software be set up.
Powering Up the
Board To power up the development board, perform the following steps:
Ensure that only the LCD Multimedia HSMC is connected to HSMC Port
B of the Cyclone III FPGA development board.
1. Ensure that the POWER switch (SW2) on the Cyclone III FPGA
development board is in the OFF (or UP) position.
2. Connect the 16 V DC adapter to the development board and to a
power source.
c Only use the supplied 16 V power supply. Power regulation
circuitry on the board could be damaged by supplies greater
than 16 V.
