Using the Board
Using the Board
When power is applied to the board and SW9 is in the "ON" position, the
Power-on LED (LED7) illuminates. At that time, the MAX device (U10)
programs the Stratix II device (U18) from one of 4 flash memory spaces
reserved for configuration information. If configuration is successful, the
CONF_DONE LED (LED5) illuminates.
1If the Stratix II device is programmed with a design in one of the
user configuration memory spaces or using the JTAG connector
(J21), both the CONF_DONE LED (LED5) and the USER LED
(LED1) illuminate. For more information, refer to
“Configuration Status LEDs” on page 2–14.
To configure the board with a new design, the designer should perform
the following steps, explained in detail in this section.
3.Apply power to the board.
4.Reconfigure the Stratix II device.
Apply Power
Apply power to the board by connecting the 16-V DC power supply
adapter in the DSP Development Kit, Stratix II Professional Edition to the
on-board power adapter connector (J22), and then switch SW9 to the ON
position. All of the board components draw power either directly from
this 16-V supply or from the 3.3-V, 1.2-V, and 5-V regulators that are
powered by the 16-V supply.
1The 3.3-V supply provides V
LVTTL board components. The 1.2-V supply provides V

Configuration
You can configure the Stratix II device directly, without turning off power,
using the Quartus
1.Attach the cable to J21, also labeled “JTAG Stratix II”.
2.Open a Quartus II SRAM Object File (.sof), which starts the
Quartus II Programmer.
3.Select USB Blaster as the hardware.
4.Set the mode to JTAG.
5.Click Start.
After successful configuration, the CONF_DONE LED (LED5)
illuminates.
Refer to Quartus II Help for instructions on how to use the USB Blaster
cable.
The designer must reconfigure the Stratix II device each time power is
applied to the Stratix II DSP development board. For designers who want
to power up the board and have a design immediately present in the
Stratix II device, the board has a nonvolatile configuration scheme. This
scheme consists of flash memory and a configuration controller (U10),
which is an Altera EPM7256 PLD. The configuration controller device is
non-volatile (i.e., it does not lose its configuration data when the board is
powered down) and it comes factory-programmed with logic that
configures the Stratix II EP2S180F1020C3 device (U18) from data stored in
flash (U17) on power-up. Upon power-up, the configuration controller
begins reading data from the flash memory. The flash memory, Stratix II
device, and configuration controller are connected so that data from the
flash configures the Stratix II device in fast passive-parallel mode.

II software and the USB Blaster cable, as follows.
Factory & User Configurations
The configuration controller can manage two separate Stratix II device
configurations stored in flash memory: one user design and a factory
design. On power-up, the configuration controller reads one of two (user
or factory) designs from the flash memory and programs the Stratix II
device accordingly. The user can select with which design the Stratix II
device is programmed by setting the DIP switches on SW2.
Altera Corporation Core Version a.b.c variable2–5
Stratix II EP2S180 DSP Development Board Reference Manual
Nonvolatile Configuration
DIP switches 1 through 3 on SW2 select one of four possible Stratix II
configuration images upon power-up. When DIP switch 4 is in the
“OPEN” position the configuration controller is enabled. If DIP switch 4
is in the “OPEN” position and there are no valid user-defined images, the
Stratix II device is programmed with the factory configuration. Tab le 2– 2
shows the DIP switch combinations used to select the available images.
See “Nonvolatile Configuration” on page 2–5 for more details.

1An alternative method of configuring the device with the
factory design is to press push-button switch SW3.
You can load a customized user design or reload a factory design into the
on-board flash memory by using the Nios II Flash Programmer in the
Nios II SDK Shell.
Programming Example for the 2S180 DSP Development Board
The following example instructions illustrate how to program the 2S180
DSP Development Board.
1.Generate a flash file to load into the flash device.
You can use the offset switch to specify which configuration area of the
flash will be loaded. Use 0x00900000 for User0 area, or 0x00200000 to
overwrite the Factory.
2.Copy the flash file into the on-board flash device.

Move a copy of the flash programming SOF file to your project
directory. The flash programming SOF file is in the location:
3.Run the Nios II Flash Programmer (nios2-flash-programmer) utility:
$ nios2-flash-programmer --base=0x01000000
--input=<project_name>.flash

--device=1
fFor more information on programming the flash memory or loading
SOF files into the on-board flash memory, refer to the Nios II Flash
Programmer User Guide.
The Factory Design
When the Stratix II device is programmed with the factory design, LEDs
D5 through D8 behave as a binary counter that counts down to zero. This
is a power-up indication that the board is functional and the device was
successfully programmed with the factory design.
Along with the LED counter, the factory design includes two blocks of IP
generated by the Altera NCO Compiler. One of these oscillators is
running at 10 times the frequency of the other, but both of them have the
same amplitude, covering 13 bits of dynamic range. Two sine waves
generated by these blocks are added together and the output is converted
from a 2's complement representation into unsigned integer format. This
combined sine wave signal with 14-bit dynamic range is sent to a 14-bit
D/A converter.
When the analog output of the D/A converter is connected, via the
included SMA cable, with the analog input of one of the 12-bit A/D
converters, the A/D converter’s digital output is looped back to the
Stratix II device. The design converts this loopback input from 2's
complement format to unsigned integer format. The converted loopback
®
data is captured by an instance of the SignalTap
II logic analyzer in the
design for display and analysis.
fFor step-by-step instructions on how to use the factory design to test the
functionality of the board, refer to the DSP Development Kit, Stratix II
Professional Edition Getting Started User Guide.

The Stratix II EP2S180 DSP development board can obtain a clock source
from one or more of the following sources:
■The on-board crystal oscillator
■An external clock (through an SMA connector or a Stratix II pin)
The board can provide independent clocks from both the enhanced and
fast PLLs to the A/D converters, the D/A converters, and the other
components that require stable clock sources.
To implement this concept, the enhanced PLL5-dedicated pins drive the
A/D converters and associated functions, and the enhanced
PLL6-dedicated pins drive the D/A converters and associated functions.
