9.6 Run Program Action

To program the PolarFire device, perform the following steps:
  1. Ensure that the jumper settings on the board are as listed in the following table.
    Table 9-3. PolarFire® Evaluation Board Jumper Settings
    JumperDescription
    J18, J19, J20, J21, and J22Short pin 2 and 3 for programming the PolarFire® FPGA through FTDI
    J28Short the pin 2 and 3 for programming through the on-board FlashPro5
    J4Short pin 1 and 2 for manual power switching using SW3
    J12Short pin 3 and 4 for 2.5V
    J46Short pin 1 and 2 for routing 125 MHz differential clock oscillator output to the side. Open pin 1 and 2 for routing 122.88 MHz differential clock oscillator to the line side.
  2. Connect the power supply cable to the J9 connector.
  3. Connect the USB cable from the host PC to the J5 (FTDI port).
  4. Power ON the board using the SW3 slide switch.

    The following figure shows the board setup.

  5. On the Design Flow window, double-click Run PROGRAM Action.

The device is successfully programmed and a green tick mark appears next to Run PROGRAM Action, see Figure 9-1. LED 4 is asserted once the device is programmed.
