2. Getting Started
This chapter provides the initial guidelines to get you started using the kit.
2.1. Before You Begin
You must check the kit contents and inspect the boards to verify that you received all
of the items listed in Kit Features before using the kit or installing the software.
In case any of the items are missing, you must contact Intel before you proceed.
2.2. Inspecting the Boards
Following are the steps to inspect each board:
1. Place the board on an anti-static surface and inspect it to ensure that it has not
been damaged during shipment. You may damage the board without proper anti-
static handling.
2. Verify that components on the boards appear to be in place and intact.
In typical applications with the Cyclone V GT FPGA development board, a heat sink is
not necessary. However, under extreme conditions or for engineering sample silicon,
the board might require additional cooling to stay within operating temperature
guidelines. The board has two holes near the FPGA that accommodate many different
heat sinks, including the Dynatron CHR-152. You can perform power consumption and
thermal modeling to determine whether your application requires additional cooling.
For information about measuring board and FPGA power in real time. Refer to The
Power Monitor section for more details.
For more information about power consumption and thermal modeling, refer to AN
358: Thermal Management for FPGAs.
