3.3. Recovering Factory Default Settings

To restore the Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA Evaluation Board to factory default settings, perform the following steps.
  1. Make sure you have the latest Altera software tools, including the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software, Nios® II processor, and IP cores. Refer to the Installing the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software for installation instructions.
  2. Launch the Board Test System (BTS) GUI application by one of the following methods:
    • Nios® II command shell:
      1. Launch the Nios® II command shell.
      2. Change directory to <package dir>\examples\board_test_system\ .
      3. Type ./BoardTestSystem.exe to launch the BTS GUI.
    • File manager:
      1. In a file manager GUI (such as File Explorer), change directory to <package dir>\examples\board_test_system\ .
      2. Double-click BoardTestSystem.exe to launch the BTS GUI.
  3. On the Restore menu, click Factory Restore.
