Board Information
The Board information controls display static information about your board.
■ Board Name —Indicates the official name of the board, given by the Board Test
System.
■ Board P/N —Indicates the part number of the board.
■ Serial number —Indicates the serial number of the board.
■ Factory test version —Indicates the version of the Board Test System currently
running on the board.
■ MAC —Indicates the MAC address of the board.
■ MAX V ver —Indicates the version of MAX V code currently running on the
board. The MAX V code resides in the <install
dir>\kits\arriaVGX_5agxfb3hf35_start\examples directory. Newer revisions of
this code might be available on the
Arria V GX Starter Kit page of the Altera
website.
MAX V Registers
The MAX V registers control allows you to view and change the current MAX V
register values as described in
Table 6–1 . Changes to the register values with the GUI
take effect immediately. For example, writing a 0 to SRST resets the board.
■ SRST —Resets the system and reloads the FPGA with a design from flash memory
based on the other MAX V register values. Refer to Table 6–1 for more information.

(PSR)
Read / Write
Determines which of the up to three (0-2) pages of flash
memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. The flash memory
ships with pages 0 and 1 preconfigured.
Page Select Override
(PSO)
Read / Write
When set to 0, the value in PSR determines the page of
flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. When set to
1, the value in PSS determines the page of flash memory to
use for FPGA reconfiguration.

(PSS)
Read only
Holds the current value of the illuminated PGM LED
(D24-D26) based on the following encoding:
■ 0 = PGM LED (D24) and corresponds to the flash
memory page for the factory hardware design
■ 1 = PGM LED (D25) and corresponds to the flash
memory page for the user hardware 1 design
■ 2 = PGM LED (D26) and corresponds to the flash
memory page for the user hardware 2 design
