GETTING STARTED
8.
Power supply connections (not required for the PCI-SDK Platform): the Cyclone EP has two power
connectors: J6 and J7. Refer to Section 2.1.4, Power Requirements (pg. 2-2) for a description of
these connectors; see Figure 3-1, Cyclone EP and PCI-SDK Platform Physical Diagram (pg. 3-1) to
verify locations.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONNECT THE POWER CABLE COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
DAMAGE TO THE BOARD.
If using the power supply provided with the Cyclone EP, plug the power supply cable into
connector J7. The power supply operates with 120 VAC @ 60 Hz.
If using a power supply that provides +5 VDC, +12 VDC and ground (supply not provided), plug
the power supply cable into connector J6.
The PCI-SDK Platform draws power from the PCI bus and should not be connected to an external
power supply.
9.
Check for power within tolerance. The +5V and +3.3V LEDs should be lit. The -12V and +12V
power sources are optional on the standalone board, but should be lit when a PCI-SDK Platform is
installed in a PCI slot.
Upon power up the Fail LED should turn OFF, indicating the processor has passed its self test. The
green Run LED should light, indicating that the processor is performing bus cycles.

CREATING AND DOWNLOADING THE EXAMPLE PROGRAM
When you install MON960 on DOS, a text file (ZZ\EXAMPLE\CYCLONE\IMAGE.TXT)describes
how to compile, assemble and link the example program. The text file describes how to create the
executable image. For this example, the image file is named SIEVE.XX ("XX" is either Cx, Hx, Jx, Kx,
or Sx, depending on which CPU module you are using).
If you are using MONDB.EXE on DOS to communicate with the Cyclone EP, continue to Section
2.4.1. If using a terminal emulation program, proceed to Section 2.4.2, Terminal Emulation-to-Cyclone
EP Communication Support (pg. 2-6).
2.4.1
MONDB.EXE-to-Cyclone EP Communication Support
To invoke the MONDB.EXE utility and download your application program: make sure you are in the
..\CYCLONE directory and, at the DOS prompt, enter DWNLD followed by the name of the image
file (filename is not case sensitive). For example, for the Cx CPU module, enter:
DWNLD SIEVE.C X
DWNLD invokes a batch file (DWNLD.BAT) which contains MONDB.EXE commands which
configure serial port 1, parallel port 1, and set the baud rate to 19200. You can use a text editor to
modify this batch file such that it is correct for your system's configuration. Refer to MON960 Debug
Monitor User's Guide for a description of all commands.
