5.4.1. System Controller Configuration

J58 is used to turn off the FPGA power. The following table lists the status of each J58 configuration.

Table 16.  J58 Jumper Settings
Board Reference Description
J58
  • OPEN—Normal application
  • SHORT—No power to FPGA
CAUTION:
The MAX® V system controller controls the power sequence. The wrong configuration file may damage the board.

The following procedure must be followed to program the system controller MAX® V:

  1. Short J58.
  2. Set the SW3 bits to:
    Table 17.  SW3 System Configuration Mode for System Controller MAX® V Programming
    Bit1 Bit2 Bit3 Bit4 Bit5 Bit6 Bit7 Bit8
    ON ON ON ON ON OFF OFF ON
  3. Turn on the power; the red LED flashes.
  4. Connect the USB cable to the onboard Intel® FPGA Download Cable II.
  5. Use "autodetect" in the Quartus® Prime software to detect MAX® V.
  6. Click Change File and select \examples\max5\PRD\system_max5\system_max5.pof
  7. Turn on Program/Configure option for the selected .pof file, click Start to download it to MAX® V. Configuration is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%.
  8. Turn off the power and remove J58.
  9. Set SW3 to normal operation mode.

    Refer to the SW3 Factory Default Settings table in Default Switch and Jumper Settings section for the SW3 configuration.

  10. Turn on the power; the red LED is turned on until the FPGA is configured.
