Hardware

Complete List is available on <design_name>/board_files/*_devices.csv

Design supports following carriers:

...

...

...

...

Reference Design is only usable with the specified Quartus version. Do never use different Versions versions of Quartus software for the same project.

...

The Trenz Electronic FPGA Reference Designs are TCL-script based projectprojects. To create a project, open a project or program a device execute "create_project_win.cmd" on Windows OS and "create_project_linux.sh" on Linux OS.

TE Scripts are only needed to generate the quartus project, all other additional steps are optional and can also executed by Intel Quartus/SDK GUI.   For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery - Intel devices → Currently limitations of functionality

1. Open create_project_win.cmd/create_project_linux.sh and follow instructions in "Messages" section:
   Image RemovedImage Added'Create Project' GUI - example
2. Select board Board in "Board selection" section
3. Click on "Create project" button to create project
   
   1. (optional for manual changes) Select correct Quartus install quartus installation path on "in "<design_name>/settings/design_basic_settings.cmdtcl"

Launch

...

1. Connect JTAG and power on carrier with module
2. Open " create_project_win.cmd/create_project_linux.sh"
3. select Select correct Board board in "Board selection" section
4. Click on "Program device" button
   1. (if prebuilt files are available) : select "Program prebuilt file" and click on "Start program device"
   2. using own generated programming file: select "Program other file" and click on "Browse ..." to open own generated programming file
   3. (optional) click on "Open programmer GUI" to program device with Quartus programmer GUI
5. Click on "Start program device" button

JTAG

Not used on this Example.

...

1. Prepare HW like described on section TEI0006 Reference Design#Programming Programming
2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)
3. Connect your board to the network
4. Power On on PCB

UART

1. Open Serial Console (e.g. puttyPuTTY)
   
   Speed: 115200
   1. COM Port: Win OS , see device manager, Linux OS see  dmesg | grep tty  (UART is *USB1)
   2. Speed: 11520
   3. Select "Implicit CR in every LF" in category "Terminal"
2. Press reset button
3. Simple Socket Server is starting up. Follow instructions on shell.
   
   1. If dhcp server is not available: open sdk software project in sdk gui (e.g. NIOS II SBT for Eclipse) and change predefined IP address in "simple_socket_server.h", build rebuild software project and download *.elf file to the device.Connect your board to the network
   2. Open command shell and enter "telnet <ip_address> 30" to connect to simple socket server
