1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The FPGA Manager getting started demonstrates how the FPGA Manager is used on a Mercury KX1 FPGA
module in combination with the Enclustra Mercury+ PE1 base board (any board variant) or with the regular
Enclustra Mercury PE1 base board (previous revisions). It presents the basic configuration of the device and
features some example applications.
A troubleshooting section is included at the end of the document, to help the user solve potential issues
related to board connectivity and/or system functionality.
An introduction to the Xilinx tools is provided by the documents below:
•Vivado Design Suite User Guide, Embedded Processor Hardware Design [1]
•Vivado Design Suite Tutorial, Embedded Processor Hardware Design [2]
More information on the Mercury KX1 FPGA module and the Mercury+ PE1 base board can be retrieved
from their respective user manuals [4] [5].
1.2 FPGA Manager Ethernet
The Getting Started Guide for FPGA Manager Ethernet will show the reader how to work with FPGA Manager.
It demonstrates how the FPGA Manager is used to connect the FPGA to the host PC using an Ethernet
connection. Thanks to the great flexibility of FPGA Manager the instruction for the additional interfaces
supported (USB 2.0/3.0 and PCIe) are quiet similar and differ solely in connection used to the host PC. In a
first step the guide will show how the hardware is set up. Secondly it introduces the software required on
the host PC which can be either a Windows or Linux machine. The guide shows the recommended tools,
how to install them and how to create an application.
1.3 Directory Structure
The FPGA Manager is delivered as a ZIP archive file with the following directory structure and contents:
•EN-MGR -interface... — FPGA Project directory for named interface
•SW-EN-MGR -WIN-BIN — Windows software directory
•SW-EN-MGR -LIN-BIN — Linux software directory
•UTIL-EN-MGR -interface... — Software utility for named interface
Depending on the delivery some of the folders may not exist or folders for multiple interfaces are present
