Installing the MegaCore Function & Reference Designs/Demos

■ Altera recommends that you install the software that is on the

MAX II Development Kit CD-ROM. See “Installing the MegaCore

Function & Reference Designs/Demos”.

■ Quartus II software version 4.1 SP1 or later. See “Installing the

Quartus II Software”.

Important Considerations

You need your network identification card (NIC) ID for licensing the

Quartus II software.

Your NIC number is a 12-digit hexadecimal number that identifies the

Windows NT workstation that serves Quartus II licenses. Networked (or

floating node) licensing requires an NIC number or server host ID. When

obtaining a license file for network licensing, you should use the NIC

number from the PC that will issue the Quartus II licenses to distributed

users over a network. You can find the NIC number for your card by

typing ipconfig /all at a command prompt. Your NIC number is the

number on the physical address line, without the dashes.

You need administrative privileges to install the required software.

PCI_ReferenceDesign/PCI_Megacore_Installer directory. To

take advantage of the evaluation version of this MegaCore,

install it in the directory of your choice.

Installing the

Quartus II

Software

Refer to “Installing the Quartus II Software” in the Quartus II Installation

& Licensing Manual for PCs, which is included on the MAX II Development

Kit CD-ROM, for the software installation instructions. After the software

finishes installing, you must request and install a license to enable it. See

“Setting Up Licensing ” on page 2–3 for more information.

Quartus II System Requirements

To use the MAX II Development Kit with the Quartus II software

provided with the kit, your system must meet the Quartus II software

minimum requirements. Refer to “System Requirements” in the

Quartus II Installation & Licensing Manual for PCs, which is included on the

MAX II Development Kit CD-ROM, for the software requirements.

Setting Up

Licensing

Before using the Quartus II software, you must request a license file from

the Altera web site at www.altera.com/licensing and install it on your

PC. When you request a license file, Altera e-mails you a license.dat file

that enables the software. To obtain a license, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the Altera web site at www.altera.com/licensing.

Connecting the Cables and Power to the Board & PC

2. Click Quartus II Web Edition Software.

3. Follow the on-line instructions to request your license. A license file

is e-mailed to you.

4. To install your license, refer to “Specifying the License File” in the

Quartus II Installation & Licensing Manual for PCs, included on the

MAX II Development Kit CD-ROM.

Connecting the

Cables and

Power to the

Board & PC

The MAX II Development Board obtains power from either the USB or

PCI interfaces. The three-pin jumper J8 controls whether power is

obtained via USB or PCI. The board ships with the power control option

set to USB (the shunt on J8 connects pins 1-2). To power the board from

the PCI Edge Connector, the shunt should be moved to pins 2-3.

To use the board outside of a PC chassis, you must connect the USB Type

A-B cable (included with the kit) from your PC to the board. The first time

you connect to your PC, the operating system will notify you that it

“Found New Hardware.” Windows XP automatically installs drivers for

you, while Windows NT and Windows 98 do not. The drivers are only

necessary if you are planning to use your PC to transfer data to and from

the MAX II development board. For more information, refer to

“Reference Design 1: USB Reference Design” on page 2–16.

ByteBlaster II Cable

The ByteBlaster II cable is used to download new programming files to

the MAX II device. The board supplies power to the ByteBlaster II

download cable. Connect the ByteBlaster II cable’s 10-pin female plug to

the MAX II device JTAG header on the board (J2) and connect the other

end to your PC to configure the MAX II device directly using a POF file.

1 Align the ByteBlaster II connector so that the red strip is

orientated towards the Altera logo on the board.

Programming

the MAX II

Device

In order to program the MAX II device on the MAX II development

board, you must provide power to the board. The MAX II development

board can be powered via the USB or PCI interfaces. This section assumes

the board is being powered via USB. Refer to “Reference Design 3: PCI

Reference Design” on page 2–26 for details regarding programming

when the PCI bus is supplying power.
