Configuration steps (1) On Linux Desktop computer: Install and configure TFTP Copy the content of the DE2i-150 CD to a directory This directory contains demos and a PCIe driver Using TFTP, copy files from your Linux Desktop to the Yocto Host on the Board Install FPGA Design Environment (Quartus II Web edition) Install from the DE2i-150 CD Download from Altera Website Open Quartus II and from the Tools menu select Programmer in the next window click add file and choose the .sof file to upload on the FPGA. Consult the User Manual on the DE2i-150 CD for more information on how to use Quartus II and program the FPGA 04/17/2014 Y. O. M. Moctar CSE, UCR

Configuration steps (2) On The Yocto Terminal: After copying the demo files from the Linux Desktop to the Yocto System, type “reboot” to restart the Yocto Host Load the PCI Express driver by typing: sh ./load_terasic_qsys_pcie_driver.sh de2i_150_config_file Then make your application (you can provide a Makefile or just use gcc if you have a simple app.) Finally run your application by typing: ./<application_name> 04/17/2014 Y.

Demo: VGA-Display (1) This section walks you through the steps you need to run the VGA-DISPLAY demo: Familiarize yourself with the board by reading the tech. and user manuals. Make sure the board is powered up and all components are connected correctly. (consult the tech. manual) If you have not done so, copy the DE2i-150 CD into a directory on your Linux Desktop (name it DE2i_CDROM) Start Quartus II and using the Programmer upload the .sof file To the FPGA: /DE2i_CDROM/Demonstrations/PCIE_Display/demo_batch/ de2i_150_qsys_pcie.sof 04/17/2014 Y. O. M. Moctar CSE, UCR

Demo: VGA-Display (2) Using TFTP copy the following folders to the local hard disk on the Yocto Host: /DE2i_CDROM/Demonstrations/PCIE_Display/linux_app /DE2i_CDROM/Demonstrations/PCIe_Library /DE2i_CDROM/Demonstrations/PCIe_Driverinstall In the Yocto Terminal, type “reboot” to restart the Yocto Host In the Yocto Terminal, Load the PCI Express driver by typing: sh ./load_terasic_qsys_pcie_driver.sh de2i_150_config_file In the Yocto Terminal, Run the application by typing: ./app 04/17/2014 Y.

Demo: VGA-Display (3) On the VGA Display attached to the board you will see something like this: 04/17/2014 Y. O. M. Moctar CSE, UCR

Summary We have coved the important steps for configuring the DE21-150 board. We have also shown how to install a PCI Express driver Run an application on the Atom that interact with a design on the FPGA. Questions ? 04/17/2014 Y. O. M. Moctar CSE, UCR
