AXE5 Eagle Desktop Quick Start Guide - ArrowElectronics/Agilex-5 GitHub Wiki

This Quick Start Guide describes the hardware and software setup needed to run the Desktop Linux demo.

In this demo configuration, the AXE5-Eagle hardware runs a stand-alone Linux Operating System which uses a mouse, keyboard, and display monitor.

To run a demo, follow the steps below:

  1. Need to have a terminal emulator available capable of running at 115200 baud rate.
  2. Download the .sof FPGA configuration from Need to add a link
  3. prepare and install the SD Card.

Configuration for Standalone Linux

The configuration for this example design is comprised of the following components:

  • AXE5-Eagle (TEI0185-01) development board,
    • includes a 12VDC 40W power supply
    • includes Arrow-USB-Blaster (TEI-0004-02) for downloading to the FPGA
  • Monitor with HDMI input
  • HDMI cable
  • micro-USB Cable
  • Keyboard and Mouse with USB connectors
  • Arrow-USB-Blaster download cable (adapter board)

Configure the MSEL DIP Switches

Select the SD card as the boot source for the HPS processor system by setting MSEL2 and MSEL1 to ONNN/OFFF

  • place holder for DIP switch image

Assemble the Hardware

  • Insert the SD card in the J24 cage, on the right hand of the board.

  • Attach the monitor to the AXE5-Eagle using an HDMI cable
  • Attach the keyboard and mouse to the AXE5-Eagle using any of the 4 USB ports
  • Attach the micro-USB cable to UART (J5) connector

  • Connect the power supply to the AXE5-Eagle J29 barrel connector
  • Plug the AC-DC adapter into an AC outlet

Run the demo

The AXE5-Eagle board powers up when the 12VDC power is applied to it.

In addition to the SD card, the FPGA needs to be configured with its hardware configuration.

  • Plug the Arrow-USB-Blaster (TEI0004-02) into J34 with the USB connector facing to the right.

  • Open a Quartus Programmer window and download the .sof into the FPGA
