Introduction
This document describes:
• An overview of the boot options available on the Cyclone
• Recommendations to help reduce the boot duration, including measurements of the boot process on
the Cyclone V Development Kit
• Recommendations to help with debugging the boot process
• Bare-metal boot examples that can be run on the Cyclone V SoC Development Kit
Note: Although the document targets Cyclone V, it also applies to Arria
identical between the two families.
Prerequisite
In order to run the examples presented in this Boot Guide the following are required:
• Altera
Cyclone V Development Kit, Rev D
®
• Host PC running Windows 7 or newer
• Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite (SoC EDS), v14.1 installed
• Altera Complete Design Suite (ACDS) v14.1
Note: This document assumes a basic knowledge of Altera SoC EDS, ACDS, Preloader Support Package
Generator (part of SoC EDS) and ARM DS-5 AE.
