Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements
This section describes the board's configuration, status, and setup elements.

Configuration

This section describes the FPGA, flash memory, and MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller device programming methods supported by the Stratix IV E FPGA development board. The Stratix IV E FPGA development board supports the following three configuration methods:
Embedded USB-Blaster is the default method for configuring the FPGA at any
time using the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode with the supplied USB cable.
Flash memory programming using the Board Update Portal factory design.
FPGA Programming from Flash memory for configuring the FPGA using stored
images from the flash memory on either power-up or pressing the reset configuration push-button switch (S1).

FPGA Programming over Embedded USB-Blaster
The USB-Blaster is implemented using a USB Type-B connector (J6), a FTDI USB 2.0 PHY device (U7), and an Altera MAX II CPLD (U10). This allows the configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable directly connected between the USB port on the board (J6) and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software. The JTAG chain is normally mastered by the embedded USB-Blaster found in the MAX EPM2210 System Controller.

to the jumper. The FPGA, by default, is always in the chain.
If there is a shunt on the jumper without a board plugged in to the corresponding HSMC port, the chain is broken and configuration cannot be performed.
The MAX
II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller must be in the chain to use some of the GUI interfaces. For this setting, place a jumper shunt on the MAX II JTAG header (J10).

Flash Memory Programming
Flash memory programming is possible through a variety of methods using the Stratix IV E device.
The default method is to use the factory design called the Board Update Portal. This design is an embedded webserver, which serves the Board Update Portal web page. The web page allows you to select new FPGA designs including hardware, software, or both in an industry-standard S-Record File (.flash) and write the design to the user hardware page (page 1) of the flash memory over the network.
The secondary method is to use the pre-built parallel flash loader (PFL) design included in the development kit. The development board implements the Altera PFL megafunction for flash memory programming. The PFL megafunction is a block of logic that is programmed into an Altera programmable logic device (FPGA or CPLD). The PFL functions as a utility for writing to a compatible flash memory device. This pre-built design contains the PFL megafunction that allows you to write either page 0, page 1, or other areas of flash memory over the USB interface using the Quartus II software. This method is used to restore the development board to its factory default settings.
Other methods to program the flash memory can be used as well, including the
®
Nios
II processor.
f For more information on the Nios II processor, refer to the Nios II Processor page of
the Altera website.
FPGA Programming from Flash Memory
On either power-up or by pressing the reset configuration push-button switch (S1), the MAX flash memory. The PFL megafunction reads 16-bit data from the flash memory and converts it to fast passive parallel (FPP) format. This 8-bit data is then written to the FPGA's dedicated configuration pins during configuration. The bit stream loaded into the FPGA is selected by the PGM rotary switch (SW5) connected to the MAX EPM2210 System Controller.
Figure 2–5 illustrates the connection for FPGA programming from flash memory.

Embedded USB-Blaster

The development board incorporates the FTDI USB 2.0 PHY chip which interfaces to the USB type-B connector (J6). The maximum speed of the interface is 12 Mbps. The typical application speed is 1.5 Mbps; however, the actual system speed may vary.
The primary usage for the USB device is to provide JTAG programming for on-board devices such as the FPGA and flash memory. The interface is also the default means through which the FPGA connects to Altera PC applications such as SignalTap DSP Builder, and the Nios II JTAG UART. You can build user applications using the Virtual JTAG or System Console libraries found in the Quartus II software.

High-Speed Mezzanine Cards

The development board contains two HSMC interfaces called port A and port B. The HSMC interfaces support both single-ended and differential signaling. The interface also allows JTAG, SMB, clock outputs and inputs, as well as power for compatible HSMC cards. The HSMC is an Altera-developed open specification, which allows you to expand the functionality of the development board through the addition of mezzanine cards.
f For more information about the HSMC specification such as signaling standards,
signal integrity, compatible connectors, and mechanical information, refer to the High
Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) Specification manual.
May 2011 Altera Corporation Stratix IV E FPGA Development Board Reference Manual
2–34 Chapter 2: Board Components
Components and Interfaces
The HSMC connector has a total of 172 pins, including 120 signal pins, 39 power pins, and 13 ground pins. The ground pins are located between the two rows of signal and power pins, acting both as a shield and a reference. The HSMC host connector is based on the 0.5 mm-pitch QSH/QTH family of high-speed, board-to-board connectors from Samtec. There are three banks in this connector. Bank 1 has every third pin removed as done in the QSH-DP/QTH-DP series. Bank 2 and bank 3 have all the pins populated as done in the QSH/QTH series.
Figure 2–8 shows the bank arrangement of signals with respect to the Samtec
connector's three banks.

The HSMC interface has programmable bi-directional I/O pins that can be used as
2.5-V LVCMOS, which is 3.3-V LVTTL-compatible. These pins can also be used as various differential I/O standards including, but not limited to, LVDS, mini-LVDS, and RSDS with up to 17 full-duplex channels.
1 As noted in the High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) Specification manual, LVDS and
single-ended I/O standards are only guaranteed to function when mixed according to either the generic single-ended pin-out or generic differential pin-out.

QDR II+ SRAM

The 72-Mb QDR II+ consists of a single QDR II+ burst-of-4 SRAM, providing 4-MB memory interface with an 18-bit read data bus and an 18-bit write data bus. The default I/O voltage for the QDR II+ SRAM and the Stratix IV E FPGA is 1.5 V. Placing a shunt on jumper J11 provides 1.8 V for VDDQ.
This memory interface is designed to run between 120 MHz, the minimum frequency for this device, and at a maximum frequency of 400 MHz. The internal bus in the FPGA is typically 2 or 4 times the width at full rate or half rate respectively. For example, a 400-MHz 18-bit interface becomes a 200-MHz 72-bit bus.
Tab le 2– 45 lists the QDR II+ SRAM pin assignments, signal names, and functions.

Power Supply
The development board's power is provided through a laptop style DC power input. The input voltage must be in the range of 14 V to 20 V. The DC voltage is then stepped down to various power rails used by the components on the board.
An on-board multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is used to measure both the voltage and current for several specific board rails. The power utilization is displayed in a GUI that graphs power consumption versus time.

Power Measurement

There are 12 power supply rails which have on-board voltage and current sense capabilities. These 8-channel differential 24-bit ADC devices and rails are split from the primary supply plane by a low-value sense resistor for the ADC to measure voltage and current. A SPI bus connects these ADC devices to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller.
Figure 2–10 shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.

This appendix catalogs revisions to the Stratix IV E FPGA development board.
Tab le A– 1 lists the versions of all releases of the Stratix IV E FPGA development
board.
Table A–1. Stratix IV E FPGA Development Board Revision History
Version Release Date Description
Graphics LCD May 2011
Single-die flash June 2010
Production silicon November 2009 Initial release.
The Optrex 128x64 graphics LCD part number F-51852GNFQJ-LB-AIN was replaced with Optrex part number F-55472GNFQJ-LB-AEN.
The Intel dual-die 512-Mb flash part number PC48F4400P0VB00 was replaced with Numonyx single-die flash part number PC28F512P30BF.

Graphics LCD Version Differences

A. Board Revision History

The original graphics LCD part number F-51852GNFQJ-LB-AIN which uses negative bias voltages connected to nets V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5 has become obsolete. The replacement module uses positive bias voltages connected to these same nets. This requires a modification to the power supply on the circuit board.
1 You should not use the original graphics LCD on a newer, positive bias voltage circuit
board, and conversely, not use the newer graphics LCD on an earlier, negative bias voltage circuit board.
To determine which graphics LCD model your board is using, refer to the back of the module itself (J27) for the printed part number. This may require un-snapping the module from the board.
To determine which type of power supply your board is using, check if your board has inductors L5 and L6 installed. These inductors are located on the bottom of the board underneath the graphics LCD.

Single-Die Flash Version Differences

The single-die flash version of the Stratix IV E FPGA development board is created to replace the obsolete dual-die flash device with a single-die flash device. The two flash devices are considered equivalent except for some software routines used to access them because the single-die device has only one CFI table whereas the duel-die device has two CFI tables.
To determine which flash your board is using, refer to the device part number installed at U2. The single-die package is smaller than the dual-die version.

E FPGA Development Kit User Guide.
