Figure 2–5. Push Buttons
System Reset Push Buttons
The system reset push button is used to force a re-configuration of the
FPGA from flash memory.
User Reset Push Buttons
The user reset push button is an input to the Cyclone III device. It is
intended to be the master reset signal for the FPGA designs loaded into
the Cyclone III device. The user reset push button is connected to the
DEV_CLRn
pin on the FPGA. The
DEV_CLRn
setting is a pin option in the
Quartus II software that you must enable to function as
DEV_CLRn
instead of a standard I/O.
User Push Buttons
The four user push buttons are intended for use in controlling FPGA
designs loaded into the Cyclone III device. There is no board-specific
function for these four push buttons.
LEDs
The board has user LEDs and board-specific LEDs.
lists both
user and board-specific LED pinout. A logic “0” causes the LEDs to
illuminate.
