Arria 10 SoC FPGA Development Kit Not Configuring FPGA on Boot

Hi,


When you are using the SD card make sure you had checked below options as well.


First, confirm the following:

  • DDR4 memory card is installed on the HPS Memory slot
  • Micro SD boot flash card is installed on the Boot Memory Daughtercard slot

Then, the board switches need to be configured as follows:

  • SW1: OFF-OFF-ON-ON
  • SW2: All OFF
  • SW3: OFF-ON-ON-ON-ON-OFF-OFF-OFF
  • SW4: All OFF

Also, the board jumpers need to be configured as follows:

  • Leave the SD Card boot card jumpers placed in their default configuration
  • On the development board:
    • Place jumpers J16, J17
    • BSEL0(J3) = 1 (left)
    • BSEL1(J4) = 0 (right)
    • BSEL2(J5) = 1 (left)
    • Leave all other board jumpers unplaced


Also, did you tried with another SD card?


Regards

Tiwari

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

We have checked the options you mentioned, and the settings are correct. We have also tried 2 different SD cards already.

Do you have any files that we could use, maybe via the JTAG interface, to program the FPGA and see if it will configure. We have not been able to get the board to configure with the GHRD, and have not seen the green done light come on at all.

Thank you!
