Testing The Design - Arrow CYC5000 User Manual

6.2.2.5 Click Start to configure the configuration memory. The programming could take a while.
6.2.2.6 When the programming is finished, the CYC5000 should be able to keep its configuration
data even after powered off.
At this point our program is stored in the QSPI flash memory, but the Cyclone V current
configuration is the Serial Flash Loader which is responsible for programming configuration flash
memory. We can simply reconfigure the FPGA with our program by pushing S1 RESET button
which will reset the FPGA and automatically loads the configuration from QSPI.

Testing the Design

Does not matter which way the CYC5000 board was configured, the results should be the same
for both methods, with the only difference being if configuration is retained after power off.
On the board by default, the LEDS should now toggle in a slow counting sequence.
Push and hold the S2 USER_BTN to see that the LEDs will now toggle in a very fast counting
sequence. USER_BTN is on the side of the LEDs.
Releasing the USER_BTN, will make the LEDs toggle at a slower rate as before.
