Agilex Board Test System difficulties

I am BTS difficulties with our new DK-SI-AGI027FB Agilex I series Signal Integrity ES Development Kit with the AGIB027R31B1E1VAA SoC. I tried getting BTS to work, and nothing would load. It said "...

    Hi WWood7,


    Sorry for the delay in response. I was trying to do some research internally regarding this issue. Here are some steps you can give a try first and see if it works:


    1. Could Download the BTS installation files from our website : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/agilex/i-series-transceiver/si-agi027.html

    select ES2 (if you are using an ES2 version of the board). Once downloaded please try to update with the following .pof

    \examples\max10_system\max10_system\output_files\max10_system.pof


    2. Please restart computer and power cycle the dev kit before you configure.

    Let’s see if these works, I will try to come out with another debugging step soon.


    Regards,

    Fakhrul

    Dear Fakhrul,

    Thank you very much for your quick reply. The BTS files you mention are the ones I am using. But I was using the max10_system.pof in the "system_restore" folder (or whatever it's called, I forget exactly). When I used the one you mentioned, the BTS works! Even the QSFPDD800 program is running now. Thank you for helping me get this started!

    One question ... I guess I have an ES2 version of the board, since the program is working, but how do I know for sure? My FPGA is AGIB027R31B1E1VAA and the board serial number is AGI87TS0001137.

    Many thanks again,
