Configuration Status LEDs

The configuration controller is connected to four status LEDs that show
the configuration status of the board at a glance. By looking at the LEDs,
you can determine which configuration, if any, was loaded into the FPGA
at power-on. If a new configuration is downloaded into the Stratix II
device via the JTAG interface, then the USER LED (LED1) remains
illuminated. The rest of the configuration status LEDs turn off if the
unused pins are configured as inputs, tri-stated for the Stratix II device.

Table 2–8

shows the behavior of the configuration status LEDs.

Dual 7-Segment Display & LEDs

A dual 7-segment display and two LEDs is provided. The segments
illuminate if the Stratix II pin to which they are connected drives low. The
segemnts are not illuminated when the connected Stratix II device pin

Description

LED3

Loading

Green

This LED blinks while the configuration controller is actively transferring
data from flash memory into the Stratix II FPGA.

LED4

Error

Red

If the red Error LED is illuminated, then configuration was not transferred
from flash memory into the Stratix II device. This can happen, if the flash
memory contains neither a valid user or factory configuration.

LED1

User

Green

This LED illuminates when the user configuration is being transferred from
flash memory and stays illuminated when the user configuration data is
successfully loaded into the Stratix II device.

LED2

Factory

Amber

This LED illuminates when the factory configuration is being transferred
from flash memory and stays illuminated if the factory configuration was
successfully loaded into the Stratix II device.
