6. Board Test System
The kit includes a design example and application called the Board Test System to test
the functionality of the Stratix IV GT 100G development board. The application
provides an easy-to-use interface to alter functional settings and observe the results.
You can use the application to test board components, modify functional parameters,
observe performance, and measure power usage. The application is also useful as a
reference for designing systems. To install the application, follow the steps in
“Installing the Stratix IV GT 100G Development Kit” on page 3–2 .
The application provides access to the following Stratix IV GT 100G development
board features:
■ General purpose I/O (GPIO)
■ SRAM
■ Flash memory
■ Interlaken interfaces
■ CFP loopback card
■ QSFP optical networking module
■ SFP+ optical networking modules
■ QDR II SRAM interfaces
■ DDR3 SDRAM interfaces
The application allows you to exercise most of the board components. While using the
application, you reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific to the
functionality you are testing.
