Important General Note:

Export PDF to download, if quartus revision is changed!

Designate all graphics and pictures with a number and a description, Use "Scroll Title" macro

Use "Scroll Title" macro for pictures and table labels. Figure number must be set manually at the moment (automatically enumeration is planned by scrollPDF)

Figure template (note: inner scroll ignore/only only with drawIO object):

Scroll Title

anchor	Figure_xyz
title	Text

Scroll Ignore
Create DrawIO object here: Attention if you copy from other page, use

Scroll Only
image link to the generate DrawIO PNG file of this page. This is a workaround until scroll pdf export bug is fixed

Table template:
- Layout macro can be use for landscape of large tables
- Set column width manually(can be used for small tables to fit over whole page) or leave empty (automatically)

Programming and Startup procedure

Programming

Note
Check Module and Carrier TRMs for proper HW configuration before you try any design.

MAX10 Flash

Connect the Module to USB-Port
Open create_project_win.cmd/create_project_linux.sh
Select correct board in "Board selection"
Click on "Program device" button
1. if prebuilt files are available: select "Program prebuilt file"
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
Click on "Start program device" button

JTAG

Not used on this example.

Usage

Prepare Hardware like described on section Programming
Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)

UART

Open Serial Console (e.g. PuTTY)

select COM Port

Info

Win OS: see device manager

Linux OS: see dmesg | grep tty (UART is *USB1)

Speed: 115200

Press reset button

Console output depends on used Software project, see Software Design - SDK#Application

Hello TEI0006 is a Quartus Hello World example as endless loop instead of one console output.

Used software project depends on board assembly variant. Template location: <project folder>/source_files/software/

test_board

Software example to test TEI0001 module.

You can toggle between following modes by pressing user button
1. Spirit level
2. Winbond SPI flash memory test
3. Shift register sequence

Project Delivery - Intel devices
The Trenz Electronic FPGA Reference Designs are TCL-script based projects. 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
