Describes how to set up the kit to run the 8K DisplayPort Video Format Conversion Design Example.
Figure 1.  Intel® Arria® 10 GX Development Kit with HiLo Daughter CardThe figure shows the board with the blue heat sink removed to show the positioning of the DDR4 Hilo card. Intel recommends that you do not run the design without the heat sink in position.

STEPS:

  1. Fit the Bitec DisplayPort 1.4 FMC card to the development board using FMC Port A.
  2. Ensure the power switch (SW1) is turned off, then connect the power connector.
  3. Connect a USB cable to your computer and to the MicroUSB Connector (J3) on the development board.
  4. Attach a DisplayPort 1.4 cable between the DisplayPort source and the Receiver port of the Bitec DisplayPort 1.4 FMC card and ensure the source is active.
  5. Attach a DisplayPort 1.4 cable between the DisplayPort display and the Transmitter port of the Bitec DisplayPort 1.4 FMC card and ensure the display is active.
  6. Turn on the board using SW1.
