Configuration

This section describes the FPGA, flash memory, and MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller device programming methods supported by the Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Board, 530 Edition. The Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Board, 530 Edition supports 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 download is used for configuring the FPGA using stored images
from the flash memory on either power-up or pressing the reset configuration push-button switch (S1).
External USB-Blaster for configuring the FPGA using the external USB-Blaster.

FPGA Programming over Embedded USB-Blaster
The USB-Blaster is implemented using a type-B USB connector (J7), a FTDI USB 2.0 PHY device (U39), and an Altera MAX II CPLD (U30). This allows the configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable directly connected between the USB port on the board (J7) 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.

Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements
Each jumper shown in Figure 2–4 is located in the JTAG DIP switch (SW6) on the back of the board. To connect a device or interface in the chain, their corresponding switch must be in the down position. Push all the switches in the up position to only have the FPGA in the chain.
The MAX
II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller must be in the chain to use some of the GUI interfaces. For this setting, push the left-most switch in the down position and all other switches in the up position.
Flash Programming
Flash programming is possible through a variety of methods using the Stratix IV GX 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 over the network.
The secondary method is to use the pre-built PFL design included in the development kit. The development board implements the Altera PFL megafunction for flash 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 device. This pre-built design contains the PFL megafunction that allows you to write either page 0, page 1, or other areas of flash 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 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 the FPGA from the 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.
Figure 2–5 shows the PFL configuration.

Rotary Switch
The 16-position rotary switch (SW2) is wired to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller. This rotary switch serves the following purposes:
At power up or when the reset configuration push-button switch (S1) is pressed,
this switch selects either the factory (page 0) or the user (page 1) design to load into the FPGA.
After power up, the rotary switch selects the power rail monitored from among a
total of 16 rails. The power information is displayed in the Power GUI on a host PC with a USB connection to the board.
User applications can obtain the switch value by reading the
FSM bus in the MAX
II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller.

General User Input/Output
This section describes the user I/O interface to the FPGA, including the push-buttons, DIP switches, status LEDs, and character LCD.

User-Defined Push-Button Switches

The development board includes four user-defined push-button switches: three general switches and one CPU reset. For information on the system and safe reset push-button switches, refer to “Reset Configuration Push-Button Switch” on
page 2–19.
Board references S3, S4, and S5 are push-button switches that allow you to interact with the Stratix IV GX device. When the switch is pressed and held down, the device pin is set to logic 0; when the switch is released, the device pin is set to logic 1. There is no board-specific function for these general user push-button switches.

This section describes the development board's communication ports and interface cards relative to the Stratix IV GX device. The development board supports the following communication ports:
PCI Express
10/100/1000 Ethernet
HSMC

PCI Express

The Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Board, 530 Edition is designed to fit entirely into a PC motherboard with a ×8 or ×16 PCI Express slot that can accommodate a full height short form factor add-in card. This interface uses the Stratix IV GX device's PCI Express hard IP block, saving logic resources for the user logic application.
Manufacturer
Part Number
Lumex Inc. LCM-S01602DSR/C www.lumex.com
Manufacturer
Website
f For more information on using the PCI Express hard IP block, refer to the PCI Express
Compiler User Guide.
The PCI Express interface supports auto-negotiating channel width from ×1 to ×4 to ×8 as well as the connection speed of Gen1 at 2.5 Gbps/lane to Gen2 at 5.0 Gbps/lane for a maximum of 40 Gbps full-duplex.
The power for the board can be sourced entirely from the PCI Express edge connector when installed into a PC motherboard. Although the board can also be powered by a laptop power supply for use on a lab bench, it is not recommended to power from both supplies at the same time. Ideal diode power sharing devices have been designed into this board to prevent damages or back-current from one supply to the other.
The
PCIE_REFCLK_P
signal is a 100-MHz differential input that is driven from the PC motherboard on this board through the edge connector. This signal is connected directly to a Stratix IV GX
REFCLK
input pin pair using DC coupling. This clock is terminated on the motherboard and therefore, no on-board termination is required. This clock can have spread-spectrum properties that change its period between
9.847 ps to 10.203 ps. The I/O standard is High-Speed Current Steering Logic (HCSL).

10/100/1000 Ethernet

A Marvell 88E1111 PHY device is used for 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet connection. The device is an auto-negotiating Ethernet PHY with an SGMII interface to the FPGA. The Stratix IV GX device can communicate with the LVDS interfaces at up to 1.6 Gbps, which is faster than 1.25 Gbps for SGMII. The MAC function must be provided in the FPGA for typical networking applications. The Marvell 88E1111 PHY uses 2.5-V and
1.1-V power rails and requires a 25-MHz reference clock driven from a dedicated oscillator. It interfaces to an RJ-45 with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper lines with Ethernet traffic.

High-Speed Mezzanine Cards

The development board contains two HSMC interfaces called port A and port B. These HSMC interfaces support both single-ended and differential signaling. The HSMC 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 daughtercards.
f For more information about the HSMC specification such as signaling standards,
signal integrity, compatible connectors, cabling solutions, and mechanical information, refer to the High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) Specification manual.
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 2–11 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.

HDMI Video Output

The Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Board, 530 Edition supports a single HDMI video output port based on the Analog Devices AD9889B HDMI transmitter device.
With the capability of up to 80 MHz operation, this device supports all video resolutions from 480i to 1080i and UXGA at 60 Hz. This device also features a programmable two-way color space converter which supports RGB, YCbCr, and DDR, as well as ITU656-based embedded syncs and an automatic input video format timing detection (CEA-861B) circuit.
On the digital audio aspect, this device supports standard S/PDIF for stereo LPCM or compressed audio of up to 192 kHz. This device also supports 8-channel, uncompressed, LPCM I2S audio of up to 192 kHz. No audio master clock is needed for supporting S/PDIF and I2S.
This device supports an on-chip microcontroller (MCU) with I HDCP operations and EDID reading operations although the board does not have an HDCP EEPROM installed by default. The on-chip MPU, accessible from the FPGA through the serial port, reports HDMI events through interrupts and registers.

This memory interface is designed to run between 120 MHz, the minimum frequency for this device, and 400 MHz for a maximum theoretical bandwidth of over 14.4 Gbps for reading and 14.4 Gbps for writing. 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.

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 the various power rails used by the components on the board and installed into the HSMC connectors.
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 16 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 serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus connects these ADC devices to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller as well as the Stratix IV GX FPGA.
Figure 2–16 shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.
Figure 2–16. Power Measurement Circuit
Tab le 2 –5 8 lists the targeted rails. The schematic signal name specifies the name of the
rail being measured and the device pin specifies the devices attached to the rail. If no subnet is named, the power is the total output power for that voltage.

Temperature Sense

Temperature monitoring for the Stratix IV GX FPGA die is achieved with a MAX1619 temperature sense device. The MAX1619 device connects to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller and the Stratix IV GX device by a 2-wire SMB interface. The MAX 1619 device is located at address 0x1. This bus is also routed to a single voltage and power monitor chip for the 12-V power rail at address 0x2.
