Boot Switch Setting
Make sure On-Board Switch (SW1) is set properly as shown below image.
SW1-Boot Selection Switch.
Table 1: Boot Media Switch Settings
Debug Port Setting
Connect Type-A end of USB cable to PC and Micro-B end of USB cable to Development platform’s debug Micro USB connector(J5) as shown below .
Install the driver for Debug Port in Host PC/Laptop using the below link.

Micro SD Card Insertion
Make sure that the micro SD card with bootable image is inserted in the SOM as shown below.
Note: This step is not applicable for the SOMs where MicroSD is not used as boot device.
JTAG Connection
iW-RainboW-G24D Arria10 SoC/FPGA SOM Development platform support JTAG interface for FPGA Programming and debugging. Use the JTAG cable which is shipped with the development platform to connect SOM and USB Blaster.
Example USB Blaster which is tested with this Platform is mentioned below.
USB Blaster-2
Part Number: PL-USB2-BLASTER from Intel
Heat Sink Integration
iW-RainboW-G24D Arria10 SoC/FPGA SOM Development platform comes with Heatsink+Fan attached to it. Make sure to power up the platform only with Heatsink+Fan attached.
Below is the Heatsink+Fan integration procedure for reference.

Powering ON
Connect the Power supply plug to the Power connector (J4) 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 Arria10 SoC/FPGA SOM Development Platform.
- Do not plug or remove the Arria10 SoC / FPGA SOM from carrier board with live power.
- Contact iWave, if power LEDs are not glowing.
Test Environment setup
Once power is applied to the Development Platform as explained in the previous section, boot messages being displayed in the debug terminal of the PC/Laptop which is connected to the Development platform. Press any key in terminal immediately to see the command prompt of the Boot loader or wait until OS boots. After OS boots, Login prompt being displayed in the debug terminal. Enter username and password as “root” to get the Linux command prompt as shown below.
