User-Defined LEDs
The development board includes general user-defined LEDs and HSMC user-defined
LEDs. This section describes all user-defined LEDs. For information on board-specific
or status LEDs, refer to
“Status Elements” on page 2–16
.
General User-Defined LEDs
Board references D7–D10 and D12–D15 are eight user-defined LEDs which allow
status and debugging signals to be driven to the LEDs from the FPGA designs loaded
into the Cyclone IV GX device. The LEDs illuminate when a logic 0 is driven, and
turns off when a logic 1 is driven. There is no board-specific function for these LEDs.
Table 2–20
lists the user-defined LED schematic signal names and their corresponding
Cyclone IV GX pin numbers.
Table 2–21
lists the user-defined LED component reference and the manufacturing
information.
HSMC User-Defined LEDs
The HSMC port A and B have two LEDs located nearby. There are no board-specific
functions for the HSMC LEDs. However, the LEDs are labeled TX and RX, and are
intended to display data flow to and from the connected HSMC cards. The LEDs are
driven by the Cyclone IV GX device.

Driving a logic 0 on the I/O port turns
the LED ON. Driving a logic 1 on the
I/O port turns the LED OFF.
