User Guide
The installation program creates the Cyclone V GT FPGA Development Kit directory
structure shown in
Figure 3–1 .
Table 3–1 lists the file directory names and a description of their contents.
Installing the USB-Blaster II Driver
The Cyclone V GT FPGA development board includes integrated USB-Blaster
circuitry for FPGA programming. However, for the host computer and board to
communicate, you must install the On-Board USB-Blaster II driver on the host
computer.
f For installation instructions for the On-Board USB-Blaster II driver, refer to the Cable
and Adapter Drivers Information page of the Altera website.
