The control panel consists of the following:
■
■
After installing the Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit, you can locate the
control panel for the hardware and software in the
<kit path>\demos\control_panel directory.
The design downloaded to the Cyclone III device implements a
command controller that processes board commands sent over the
USB-Blaster from the control panel. To perform the appropriate actions,
the command controller communicates with the controller of the targeted
board I/O device.
You can perform the following actions with the control panel:
■

The following sections describe how to perform the above actions with
the control panel already open on the host computer. If not already open,
launch the control panel as described in
The Cyclone III development board is shipped with an example design
stored in the flash memory which configures the Cyclone III FPGA upon
power-up with the standard Nios II design.

Read from and write to the DDR SDRAM, SRAM, flash memory, and
on-chip RAM
For an older version of the Cyclone III development board
shipped with the Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit v7.1.0, v7.2.0, or
8.0.0 application, you must manually configure the
cycloneIII_3c25_start_niosII_standard.sof into the FPGA
before launching the control panel application.
