How can "Clock Controller application" Programs the clock generator on Arria 10 Dev board ?

Hello, We see there is a " Clock Controller Application" on Arria10 GX Dev Board's Development Kit folder. From Dev board user guide, we know it can be used to re-config the clock generators on ...

Hi,


There is no relationship between using "clock controller GUI" and "FPGA Quartus design".

  • "clock controller GUI" is independent tool used to configure on board clock generator chip to provide user desired clock frequency input to FPGA. The status of FPGA is not important here


The guideline on using "clock controller GUI" is as below.

  • Power up the dev kit board
  • Launch the Quartus version that match with clock controller GUI version (refer to Quartus version suggested in dev kit website)
  • Next launch clock controller GUI to modify clock frequency and save the setting. Then close clock controller GUI
  • Finally, user can program/configure whatever FPGA image design into the FPGA


Thanks.


Regards,

    Hi @Deshi_Intel ,

    ""clock controller GUI" is independent tool used to configure on board clock generator chip to provide user desired clock frequency input to FPGA. The status of FPGA is not important here"

    How can PC tool "clock controller GUI" operate these hardware peripherals on-board ? There must be some module wjich is on board to operate theese on-board i2c hardware, right ? what's this bridge module to config i2c peripheral hardware ? CPLD ?
