User Guide
Featured Device: MAX 10 FPGA
The evaluation kit features the MAX 10 FPGA 10M08SAE144C8G device (U2) in a
144-pin Plastic Enhanced Quad Flat Pack (EQFP) package.
fFor more detailed information about the MAX 10 FPGA device family, refer to the
MAX 10 FPGA Device Overview.
Configuration
The evaluation kit supports two configuration methods:
■JTAG header (J10) for configuration by downloading a .sof file to the FPGA. Any
power cycling of the FPGA or reconfiguration will power up the FPGA to a blank
state.
■JTAG header (J10) for programming of the on-die FPGA Configuration Flash
Memory (CFM) via a .pof file. Any power cycling of the FPGA or reconfiguration
will power up the FPGA in self-configuration mode, using the files stored in the
CFM.
FPGA Programming over External USB-Blaster
The JTAG header provides a method for configuring the FPGA (U2) using an external
USB-Blaster™, USB-Blaster II, or Ethernet Blaster download cable with the Quartus II
Programmer running on a PC. The external download cable connects to the board
through the JTAG header (J10).
Configuring the FPGA Using the Quartus II Programmer
You can use the Quartus II Programmer to configure the FPGA with a .sof. Before
configuring the FPGA, ensure that the Quartus II Programmer and the USB-Blaster
driver are installed on the host computer, the USB cable is connected to the evaluation
kit, power to the board is on, and no other applications that use the JTAG chain are
running.
1To successfully use the USB-Blaster cable, disconnect it before power cycling the
board. After you power cycled the board, then reconnect the USB-Blaster cable.
To configure the MAX 10 FPGA FPGA, perform the following steps:
1. Start the Quartus II Programmer.
2. Click Auto Detect to display the devices in the JTAG chain.

3. Click Add File and select the path to the desired .sof.
4. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
5. Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. Configuration is complete
when the progress bar reaches 100%.
The Quartus II Convert Programming File (CPF) GUI can be used to generate a .pof
file that can use for internal configuration. You can directly program the MAX 10
device’s flash which included Configuration Flash Memory (CFM) and User Flash
Memory (UFM) by using a download cable with the Quartus II software programmer.
Selecting Internal Configuration Scheme
For all MAX 10 devices except 10M02 device, there are total of 5 different modes can
be selected when using Internal Configuration. The internal configuration scheme
needs to be selected before design compilation.
To select the configuration mode, follow these steps:
1. Open the Quartus II software and load a project using MAX 10 device family.
2. On the Assignments menu, click Settings. The Settings dialog box appears.
3. In the Category list, select Device. The Device page appears.
4. Click Device and Pin Options.
5. In the Device and Pin Options dialog box, click the Configuration tab.
6. In the Configuration Scheme list, select Internal Configuration.
7. In the Configuration Mode list, select 1 out of 5 configuration modes except
10M02 device, which has only 2 modes available.
8. Turn on Generate compressed bitstreams if needed.
9. Click OK.
Generating a .pof File with ICB Settings
To generate a .pof file from a .sof file for internal configuration, follow these steps:
1. On the File menu, click Convert Programming Files.
2. Under Output programming file, select Programmer Object File (.pof) in the
Programming file type list.
3. In the Mode list, select Internal Configuration.

4. To set the ICB settings, click Option/Boot Info button. An ICB setting dialog box
will appear.
Several ICB settings can be set through the ICB setting dialog box, including:
■Power on Reset Scheme: Instant On, Fast POR Delay or Slow POR Delay.
■Enable user IOs week pull up during configuration check box.
■Enable the JTAG Security check box.
■Verify Protect check box.
■Enable watchdog for dual boot and watching value (initially grayed out, after
add 2 sof page with 2 design that compiled with Dual Compressed Internal
Images, the watchdog setting will then be enable).
■User Flash Memory settings.
5. In the File name box, specify the file name for the programming file you want to
create.
6. To generate a Memory Map File (.map), turn on Create Memory Map File (Auto
generate output_file.map). In the .map file, not only will show the address of the
CFM and UFM, but also will contain the information of the ICB setting that user
set through the Option/Boot Info dialog box.
7. You can add an SRAM Object File (.sof) through Input files to convert list. The
maximum sof page is two.
8. After set all the desirable settings, click Generate to generate related programming
file.

Programming Internal Flash Memory
After generating the .pof file, Quartus II Programmer can be used to program the
internal flash memory through JTAG connection. The following shows an example of
the Quartus II Programmer.
There are 2 scenarios when using the Quartus II Programmer to program a .pof file
into MAX 10 devices:
1. For Device 2, the Programmer will just erase and configure CFM and UFM sector
in the internal flash memory, but the ICB setting will be preserved. However,
before starting the programming, the makes sure the ICB setting in the device and
the ICB setting in the .pof file are the same. If both ICB settings are different, the
Programmer still erases and programs the full internal memory including the ICB
setting, even though only CFM and UFM are selected in the Programmer.
2. For Device 3, the Programmer will erase and program full internal memory, which
includes the ICB setting, CFM, and UFM.
Before enabling real-time ISP for internal flash memory programming, you need to
ensure the MAX 10 FPGA is in user mode, otherwise the programming process will
fail.
Clock Circuitry
General-Purpose Clock

General User Input/Output
This section describes the user I/O interface to the FPGA:
■User-defined DIP switch
■User-defined LEDs
User-Defined DIP Switch
Board reference SW3 is a 6-pin DIP switch. Switches 1 through 5 are user-defined, and
provide additional FPGA input control. When the switch is in the OPEN or OFF
position, a logic 1 is selected. When the switch is in the CLOSED or ON position, a
logic 0 is selected. There is no board-specific function for these switches.

User Guide
Table 3–4 lists the user-defined DIP switch schematic signal names and their
corresponding MAX 10 FPGA pin numbers.
User-Defined LEDs
The development board includes five user-defined LEDs. Board references D1
through D5 are user LEDs that allow status and debugging signals to be driven to the
LEDs from the designs loaded into the MAX 10 FPGA device. The LEDs illuminate
when a logic 0 is driven, and turns off when a logic 1 is driven. There is no
board-specific function for these LEDs.
Table 3–5 lists the user-defined LED schematic signal names and their corresponding
MAX 10 FPGA pin numbers.
Power Supply
The development board is powered up through a USB cable. The green LED
illuminates when the board is powered up.
Power Measurement
In order to measure the actual power of the FPGA, there are test pads on the board to
be used as probe points for multi-meter probes. The user can measure the current and
using the equation P = R x I2. (Power = Resistance x Current Squared), calculate the
power dissipation.

User Guide
Test pads TP2 and TP3 are used to measure the current consumed by the FPGA core.
Test pads TP4 and TP5 are used to measure the current consumed by all of the FPGA's
I/O banks. All the other test pads are used to verify the voltage levels of various
nodes on the board.
Power Distribution System
Figure 3–4 shows the power distribution system on the development board.
Temperature Sense
The ADCs provide the devices with built-in capability for on-die temperature
monitoring and external analog signal conversion.
Temperature sensing mode—monitors external temperature data input with a
sampling rate of up to 50 kilosamples per second. In dual ADC devices, only the first
ADC block contains the temperature sensing diode.
fFor more information on the ADC, refer to the MAX 10 FPGA Device Overview.
