5. Reprogramming the FPGA
It may be necessary to reprogram the FPGA to demonstrate any customization to the PT4 IP core.
As the SB10 uses an Altera FPGA it is necessary to download the Quartus programmer software
(free from the Altera website:
https://wl.altera.com/download/software/prog-software/12.1 ).
Also it is necessary to use the USB-Blaster module, also from Altera (or similar from other
companies):
http://www.buyaltera.com/scripts/partsearch.dll?Detail&name=544-1775-ND .
The USB-Blaster 10-way header plugs into J4, the 10W header on the SB10. The header is polarized
to ensure the cable cannot be inserted the wrong way (see Figure 14).
Figure 14 Re-programming the SB10.
Install and open the Quartus programmer. The screen should look similar to Figure 15.
The new FPGA image will be sent as a file called SB10.pof. Set the programming mode to ‘Active
Serial Programming’. If everything is OK the programmer should recognize the serial EEPROM
(shown as EPCS4). Click the ‘Add File’ button and point to the SB10.pof file. Click the check box
‘Program/Configure’ and click the ‘Start’ button. You should see the progress bar move as the
device is programmed. If successful the bar will show 100% (Successful) after programming is
complete.
