Configuration Selection Truth Table

Debug Port Setting

Connect Type-A end of USB cable to PC and Type-C end of USB cable to Development platform’s debug  USB Type-C connector(J8) as shown below.

Setup the Debug Terminal parameters.
Baud Rate : 115200
Data bits : 8
Parity : None
Stop Bits : 1
Flow Control: None

JTAG Connection

iG-RainboW-G71D Agilex 3 SoC FPGA(M16A) SOM Development platform support JTAG
interface for FPGA Programming and debugging. Use the USB Blaster to connect Carrier Board.
Ensure that Switch-3 on the carrier board is turned ON.

Example USB Blaster which is tested with this Platform is mentioned below.
USB Blaster-2
Part Number : PL-USB2-BLASTER from INTEL

Powering ON

Connect the Power supply plug to the Power connector (J2) of the Development platform as shown below and switch ON the power supply. Once power is applied to the Development platform, the power LED in the Development platform will glow as shown in the below image.

Warning:

  • Do not try to connect any other Power Supply other than supplied along with Agilex 3 SoC FPGA(M16A) SOM Development Platform.
  • Do not plug or remove the Agilex 3 SoC FPGA(M16A) SOM from carrier board with live power.
  • Contact iWave, if power LEDs are not glowing.
