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:
- Need to have a terminal emulator available capable of running at 115200 baud rate.
- Download the .sof FPGA configuration from Need to add a link
- 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
