1. About This Kit
The Altera® Cyclone®V system on a chip (SoC) Development Kit is a complete design
environment that includes both the hardware and software you need to develop
Cyclone V SoC designs.
This section briefly describes the kit contents.
Development Kit page.
The Cyclone V SoC Development Kit includes the following hardware:
■ Cyclone V development board—A development platform that allows you to
develop and prototype hardware designs running on the Cyclone V SoC.
■ Power supply and cables—The kit includes the following items:
Before You Begin
Before using the kit or installing the software, check the kit contents and inspect the
boards to verify that you received all of the items listed in Quick Start Guide printout in
the box. If any of the items are missing, contact Altera before you proceed.
f For detailed information about the board components and interfaces, refer
to the Cyclone V SoC Development Board Reference Manual.
■Power supply and AC adapters for North America/Japan, Europe, and the
United Kingdom.
■USB cable.
■Ethernet cable.
■SMB cable.
Inspect the Boards
To inspect each board, perform these steps:
1. Place the board on an anti-static surface and inspect it to ensure that it has not been
damaged during shipment.
cWithout proper anti-static handling, you can damage the board.

2. Verify that all components on the boards appear in place and intact.
1In typical applications with the Cyclone V development board, a heat sink is not
necessary. However, under extreme conditions or for engineering sample silicon, the
board might require additional cooling to stay within operating temperature
guidelines. The board has two holes near the FPGA that accommodate many different
heat sinks, including the Dynatron V31G. You can perform power consumption and
thermal modeling to determine whether your application requires additional cooling.
For information about measuring board and FPGA power in real time, refer to “The
Power Monitor” on page 5–15.
f For more information about power consumption and thermal modeling,
refer to AN 358: Thermal Management for FPGAs.

This chapter explains how to install the following software:
■ Quartus II Web Edition Software (optional)
■ Altera SoC Embedded Development Suite (EDS)
■ Cyclone V SoC Development Kit software
■ On-Board USB-Blaster™ II driver
1If you do not need to develop FPGA designs, you do not need to download the
Quartus II software. For example, when you only want to write software for the SoC
HPS. Installing the SoC EDS software, along with USB-II Blaster drivers, can provide
your development kit JTAG programming environment.
Installing the Quartus II Web Edition Software
Perform these steps:
2. Software Installation
1. Download the Quartus II Web Edition Software from the Quartus II Subscription
Edition Software page of the Altera website.
Alternatively, you can request a DVD from the Altera IP and Software DVD
Request Form page of the Altera website.
2. Run the Quartus II Web Edition Software installer.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
f For a list of the Web Edition capabilities and features, refer to the Detailed
Comparison sheet.
f If you have difficulty installing the Quartus II software, refer to the Altera Software
Installation and Licensing Manual.
Licensing Considerations
The Quartus II Web Edition Software is license-free and supports Cyclone V devices
without any additional licensing requirement. This kit also works in conjunction with
the Quartus II Subscription Edition Software, once you obtain the proper license file.
To purchase a subscription, contact your Altera sales representative.
Installing the Altera SoC EDS
The Altera SoC EDS is a comprehensive tool suite for embedded software
development on Altera SoC devices. The Altera SoC EDS contains the following:
■ Development tools
■ Utility programs
■ Run-time software

Installing the Development Kit
The SoC EDS includes an exclusive offering of the ARM Development Studio™ 5
(DS-5™) Altera Edition Toolkit. The ARM DS-5 combines advanced multicore
debugging capabilities with FPGA adaptivity. With Altera’s SignalTap™ II Logic
Analyzer, embedded software developers have full-chip visibility and control.
f For the steps to install the SoC EDS Design Suite, refer to the Altera SoC Embedded
Design Suite User Guide.
Installing the Development Kit
Perform these steps:
1. Download the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit installer from the Cyclone V SoC
Development Kit page of the Altera website. Alternatively, you can request a
development kit DVD from the Altera Kit Installations DVD Request Form page of
the Altera website.
2. Start the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit installer.
3. Choose an installation directory that is relative to the Quartus II software
installation directory. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the
installation process.
4. For the latest issues and release notes, Altera recommends that you review the
readme.txt located in the root directory of the kit installation.
The installation program creates the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit directory
structure shown in Figure 2–1.

Installing the USB-Blaster II Driver
The Cyclone V development board includes integrated USB-Blaster circuitry for
FPGA programming. However, for the host computer and board to communicate, you
must install the On-Board USB-Blaster II driver on the host computer.
f Installation instructions for the On-Board USB-Blaster II driver for your operating
system are available on the Altera website. On the Altera Programming Cable Driver
Information page of the Altera website, locate the table entry for your configuration
and click the link to access the instructions.

This chapter explains how to set up the Cyclone V SoC development board and
restore default settings.
Setting Up the Board
To prepare the board, perform these steps:
1. The development board ships with its board switches preconfigured to support
the design examples in the kit. If you suspect your board might not be currently
configured with the default settings, follow the instructions in “Factory Default
Switch and Jumper Settings” on page 3–1 to return the board to its factory settings
before proceeding.
The development board ships with the Golden System Reference Design binaries
stored in the microSD card.
The microSD card also includes the following:
3. Development Board Setup
■Hardware reference design FPGA image, Raw Binary File (.rbf) file
■HPS image preloader U-Boot and Linux images
■File system and software examples
2. Power up the development board by using the included laptop power supply
plugged into J22 on the board.
cUse only the supplied power supply. Power regulation circuitry on the
board can be damaged by power supplies with greater voltage, and a
lower-rated power supply may not be able to provide enough power for the
board.
Alternatively, you can use the an ATX power from a PC by plugging a 4-pin
output from that supply to J20 on the development board.
cMake sure that the ATX supply is off when connecting to the board. Hot-
swap is not supported and may damage the board's power supplies and
other downstream devices.
When configuration is complete, the Config Done LED (D38) illuminates, signaling
that the Cyclone V device configured successfully.
Factory Default Switch and Jumper Settings
This section shows the factory settings (Figure 3–1) for the Cyclone V SoC
development board.These settings ensure that the Board Update Portal and Golden
System Reference design function properly.
