With the power to the board off, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the USB cable to the board.
2. Verify the settings for the board settings DIP switch bank (S7 and S8) match
3. Set the USER_PGM switch (S8.2) to the on position.
4. Turn the power to the board on. The board loads the design stored in the user
To run the application, navigate to the <install
dir>\kits\cycloneIVGX_4cgx15_starter\examples\board_test_system directory and
run the BoardTestSystem.exe application.
On Windows, click Start > All Programs > Altera > Cyclone IV GX Transceiver
Starter Kit <version> > Board Test System to run the application.
A GUI appears, displaying the application tab that corresponds to the design running
in the FPGA. The Cyclone IV GX transceiver starter board’s flash memory ships
preconfigured with the design that corresponds to the Config, GPIO, SSRAM, Flash,
and Ethernet tabs.
If you power up your board with the USER_PGM switch (S8.2) in the off position, or if
you load your own design into the FPGA with the Quartus II Programmer, you
receive a message prompting you to configure your board with a valid Board Test
System design. Refer to
your board.
This section describes each control in the Board Test System application.
Each test design tests different functionality and corresponds to one or more
application tabs. Use the Configure menu to select the design you want to use.

factory configuration or if you have downloaded a newer version of the Board Test
System to flash memory through the Board Update Portal, the design that loads
tests accessing the GPIO, Ethernet, SSRAM, and flash memory.

To ensure operating stability, keep the USB cable connected and the board
powered on when running the demonstration application. The application
cannot run correctly unless the USB cable is attached and the board is on.
