If you are using SLS USB BitJetLite Download cable to download the.sof and.elf, double click on cc_r2a_usb20sr_ms_sdcard_ubjl.bat file and if you are using USB Blaster to download the.sof and.elf, double click on cc_r2a_usb20sr_ms_sdcard_usb_blaster.bat file located at <CoreCommander Installation Path>\demos\ usb_device_mass_storage_sdcard. 4. The.sof file will be downloaded first using Quartus II programmer with the help of USB BitJetLite and then the USB 2.0 Device Mass Storage application (.elf) will be downloaded on the CoreCommander board. See Figure

42 Appendix A: Configuring PROM (M25P16) Introduction Creating.JIC File This section describes how the Configuration flash on the Cyclone III Embedded Development board can be programmed using the JTAG interface. Basically this is the method of performing indirect AS configuration for storing the FPGA configuration data permanently into a configuration prom (M25P16). Follow the steps mentioned below to create the JTAG Indirect Configuration file, which is used to program the configuration PROM (M25P16) on CoreCommander board the using JTAG interface: 1. Compile the user project in Quartus II software to generate the desired.sof file (If the.sof file is already available, then no need to follow this step) 2. Go to File menu and click on Convert Programming Files. A window pops up. 3. Click on the drop down list in the Programming File Type Menu and select JTAG Indirect Configuration File (*.jic) (Last option). 4. Click on the drop down list in the Configuration Device Menu and select EPCS16 device. 5. Click on the Browse Button besides the File Name option to browse for the desired directory and output file name (e.g., c:\altera\work\test1.jic). 6. In the Input Files to convert box, perform following steps: Select Flash Loader and click on Add Device. Select Cyclone III device family and EP3C25F256 Device Name as per the Cyclone III Embedded Development board s device option available and click OK. Select SOF Data and click on Add File. Browse for the desired directory and.sof file to be converted and click Open. Click on the added.sof file and click on Properties. Select (Enable) Compression and click OK. 35

43 Configuring PROM (M25P16) Click on the Save Conversion Setup... button (top right option) to select the conversion configuration for the current project (Optional). Click on OK to perform the.sof to.jic conversion. Configuring PROM (M25P16) The configuration PROM (M25P16) can be programmed through the JTAG interface in the same manner as doing the JTAG programming (downloading.sof file). The only difference is that the desired.jic file is selected for programming instead of the.sof file. Follow the steps mentioned below to program the configuration PROM (M25P16) on the Cyclone III Embedded Development board using a JTAG Indirect configuration file through the JTAG interface: 1. Go to TOOLS menu and click on Programmer. The Quartus II Programmer window pops up. 2. Make sure that the available Programming Hardware (USB BitJetLite) is selected in the Hardware Setup. 3. Make sure that JTAG is selected as the programming Mode. 4. Select the currently available.sof file and click on the Delete button. If a ready made standalone.sof or.jic file is being used or Standalone Quartus II programmer is being used or programmer is not opening from the user project, then no.sof or.jic file is loaded by default and no need to follow this step. 5. Click on Add File Button and browse for the desired.jic file. Select the desired.jic file and click Open. 6. Check both the boxes for Program/Configure (for EP3C25). 7. Click on Start Button to start programming of the Configuration PROM (M25P16) using the JTAG interface. First the EP3C25 device is configured with the Flash loader design, which then programs the M25P16 Configuration PROM Device. 36

44 Appendix B: Restoring the Factory Design to the Flash Device We assume that the Corecommander hardware is setup and the board is powered up as shown in chapter 4. To program the M25P16 flash device on the CoreCommander board, perform the following steps: 1. Connect SLS USB BitJetLite or Altera USB Blaster download cable to JTAG header (J1). 2. Switch on the board. 3. Format the SD Card by running the cc_r2a_format.bat file from <CoreCommander Installation Path>\factory_contents\ sdcard_format. 4. Copy cc_applications folder from the <CoreCommander Installation Path>\factory_contents\sdcard_contents using SD Card reader. 5. Execute cc_r2a_app_sel_usb_bitjet_lite.bat from <CoreCommander Installation Path>\factory_contents\factory_recovery, if you are using SLS USB BitJetLite download cable. 6. Execute cc_r2a_app_sel_usb_blaster.bat from <CoreCommander Installation Path>\factory_contents\factory_recovery, if you are using Altera USB Blaster download cable. 7. Switch off the CoreCommander board and switch on again. 8. Now the CoreCommander LCD will display SLS logo and another image that will lists demonstrations. 37
