ARRADIO Terasic C5 SoCkit Quick Start Guide
This guide provides some quick instructions (still takes awhile to download, and set things up) on how to setup the ARRADIO board on Terasic C5 SoCkit
Supported carriers
The ARRADIO board is an HSMC (High Speed Mezzanine Card) board; that means it needs a carrier to plug into.
The ARRADIO board is designed specifically for the Terasic C5 SoCkit carrier, which features an Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA.
Supported Environments
The supported OS and software environments are:
FPGA board |
HDL |
Linux software |
|---|---|---|
Note
The ARRADIO board does not have No-OS software support. All software development and evaluation is done through Linux.
Creating the Micro-SD Card
Required files
The root of ‘BOOT’ should contain the following files:
socfpga.dtbzImageu-boot.scrsoc_system.rbf
The root of preloader partition should contain the following file:
preloader_bootloader.img
Note
More information regarding the build process of the HDL boot image can be found here: Generating HDL boot image for Intel projects

Setting up the hardware (Terasic C5 SoCkit)
You will need to:
Get the Terasic C5 SoCkit
Insert the Micro-SD Card into the Micro-SD Card Connector
Connect the ARRADIO board to the FPGA carrier HSMC connector
Plug your monitor device into the VGA Video Connector
Plug your USB mouse/keyboard into the USB 2.0 OTG Port
Plug the Power Supply into 12V Power Supply connector (DO NOT turn the device on)
Set the jumpers according to the following table:

All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
Booting the Micro-SD Card
Note
There’re two options to connect to the IIO-OScilloscope & Scopy, directly on the target or remotely from a PC via ethernet. Below examples showcase the remote connection method.
UART setup
A UART terminal (serial console) can be used to capture the output of the example application. The number of used UART port depends on the computer’s configuration. The following settings must be used in the UART terminal:
Baud Rate: 115200bps
Data: 8 bit
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1 bit
Flow Control: none
On Windows:
