3.3. Installing the Development Kit

Following are the steps to install the development kit:

  1. Download the Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit installer from the Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit page of the Intel website. Alternatively, you can request a development kit DVD from the Intel Kit Installations DVD Request Form page of the Intel website.
  2. Unzip the installer package.

The installation program creates the Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit directory structure shown in the following figure.

Figure 1.  Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit Installed Directory Structure

The following table lists the file directory names and a description of their contents.

Table 2.  Installed Directory Contents
Directory Name Description of Contents
board_design_files Contains schematic, layout, assembly, and bill of material board design files. Use these files as a starting point for a new prototype board design.
demos Contains demonstration applications.
documents Contains the kit documentation.
examples Contains the sample design files for the Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit.
factory_recovery Contains the original data programmed onto the board before shipment. Use this data to restore the board with its original factory contents.
