AX301 User Manual This development board is an entry-level product of ALTERA FPGA, mainly for FPGA beginners, model EP4CE6F17C8, is a 256-pin FBGA package. The development of the entire development board is practical, there are two 40-pin 2.54 standard expansion port, a total of 68 IO, in addition to retain the 5V power supply, 3.3V power supply, there are...
- A 6-bit digital tube, 6-digit dynamic display. 2. Power The AX301 development board is powered by USB, and the MINI USB cable is used to connect the development board with the USB of the computer. Pressing the power switch will not only supply power to the development board.
AX301 User Manual USB POWER PORT 2.5V AMS1117- FUSE SWITCH 3.3V AMS1117- AMS1117- 1.2V 1.2V Figure 2-1 The development board is powered by USB and generates three power supplies of +3.3V, +2.5V, and +1.2V through the 3 LDO power chip, respectively, to meet the BANK voltage and core voltage of the FPGA.
AX301 User Manual 3.1 JTAG First of all ,we talk about FPGA configuration and debugging interface: JTAG interface. The function of the JTAG interface is to download the compiled program (.sof) to the FPGA or download the FLASH configuration program (.jic) to the SPI FLASH. After the sof file is downloaded to the FPGA, it will be lost after power-off ,so we need to download it again after the power-on.
AX301 User Manual Figure 3-3 In addition, there are many pins in the FPGA that need to be connected to GND to ensure a stable reference ground within the FPGA. The GND connected to the FPGA is shown in Figure 3-4.
