October 2012 Altera Corporation Cyclone V GX FPGA Development Kit
User Guide
6. Board Test System
The kit includes a design example and an application called the Board Test System
(BTS) to test the functionality of the Cyclone V GX FPGA development board. The
BTS provides an easy-to-use interface to alter functional settings and observe the
results. You can use the BTS to test board components, modify functional parameters,
observe performance, and measure power usage. (While using the BTS, you
reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific to the functionality you
are testing.)
The BTS is also useful as a reference for designing systems.
To install the BTS, follow the steps in “Installing the Development Kit” on page 3–1 .
The Board Test System GUI communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running
in the Cyclone V GX device.
Figure 6–1 shows the initial GUI for a board that is in the
factory configuration.
