2. Getting Started

Introduction

This user guide leads you through the following Stratix IV GX FPGA development

board with SDI HSMC daughtercard setup steps:

■ Inspecting the contents of the kit

■ Installing the Altera Complete Design Suite DVD software

■ Setting up, powering up, and verifying correct operation of the development

board

■ Configuring the Stratix IV GX FPGA

■ Running the Board Test System designs

f For complete information about the development board, refer to the Stratix IV GX

FPGA Development Board Reference Manual.

Before You Begin

Before using the kit or installing the software, check the kit contents and inspect the

boards to verify that you received all of the items listed in this section. If any of the

items are missing, contact Altera before you proceed.

Inspect the Boards

To inspect each board, perform the following steps:

1. Place the board on an anti-static surface and inspect it to

ensure that it has not been

damaged during shipment.

c Without proper anti-static handling, you can damage the board.

2. Verify that all components are on the board and appear intact.

1 In typical applications with the Stratix IV GX 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. You can perform power consumption and thermal modeling to determine

whether your application requires additional cooling.

f For more information about power consumption and thermal modeling, refer to

AN 358: Thermal Management for FPGAs.
