PCI Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition Getting Started User Guide

Getting Started

Test Your Design in Hardware

This step is usually application specific. You should run any required
tests to ensure that the application’s design requirements are met. This
walkthrough uses the Cyclone II PCI development kit’s demo application
to verify that the steps you have previously performed are successful.

To modify the board so that the configuration data is read from the user
EPCS64 flash memory (not the default factory-programmed EPCS64 flash
memory), complete the following steps.

1.

Shut down your PC.

2.

Install the board in your PC, and ensure that the J3 switch is in the
Down position (for access to the user EPCS64 flash memory).

3.

Turn on your PC.

4.

The operating system might indicate that the new configuration of
the Cyclone II EP2C35 PCI development board is new hardware
and prompt you to install a driver. Refer to

“Install the Board in

Your PC” on page 2–8

for instructions on installing the driver using

the Found New Hardware Wizard.

5.

Run the Cyclone II PCI development kit demo application.

6.

Confirm that the copy of the reference design you compiled is
unique. Click the Debug tab and verify that the subsystem ID has
the same value as that specified in the pci_top.vhd wrapper file.

You have completed all of the steps necessary to prototype your design
with the Cyclone II EP2C35 PCI development board. Perform additional
testing and verification as needed for your design.
