Version 1.5, February 2008

Apply power to the board by connecting one end of the 5-Volt power supply
to the J3 connector on the M1AGL board and the other end to a power outlet.
Step 1. Installing the Libero IDE and CoreConsole -
SoftConsole tools
Follow the instructions provided with the Libero v8.x DVD for installing Libero
IDE, CoreConsole, and SoftConsole tools.
For futher information on how to use the Libero, CoreConsole and
SoftConsole tools, please refer to the documentation supplied in the Libero
IDE DVD case or go to the Actel website.
Step 2. Installing the Cortex-M1 Enabled IGLOO
Development Kit using the Install CD
The Install CD contains the following:
• M1AGL Board Schematics, Layout, Datasheets
• Sample Design Project
• M1AGL Dev. Kit User Guide
• M1AGL Dev. Kit Quick Start Guide
• Available IP
Simply place the Install CD in the CD Drive on your PC (PC refers to either
your Personal Computer or Laptop). The CD should automatically start an
auto-run session. At this point, follow the instructions (prompts) on the
“Install” dialog box.
The “Install” application will properly place all the documentation, sample
project files and the USB Serial Port drivers in the C:\Actel_M1AGL folder
(default) or the user selected folder.
Step 3. Powering up the board
Before powering up the M1AGL board for the first time, please make sure the
switches and jumpers are in the following, factory set, positions:
SW2: All switches (0-9) are in the ON position.
Jumpers: JP1, JP2, JP3(2-3), JP4, JP5(1-2), JP6, JP7, JP9(2-3), JP10,
JP11, JP12, JP13(2-3), JP14, JP15, JP16(2-3), JP17(2-3),
JP18(2-3), JP19(2-3), JP20(1-2), JP21(2-3), JP22(1-4), JP23,
JP24 are installed.
All others are not installed.
Next, plug in one end of a USB cable to the PC and the other to the J1 USB
(PROG) connector on the M1AGL board.
Note: If prompted for FlashPro3 USB drivers, see the Libero 8.x
documentation for instructions on installing the drivers.
Next, plug in the second USB cable, between the PC and the J2 USB
(SERIAL) connector on the M1AGL board. You should see the LED near the
J2 connector illuminate.
Note: The PC will detect that new hardware is installed. The “add new
hardware wizard” will take care of the USB driver installation. The wizard
may ask for a location for the drivers. The drivers are located in the
“C:\Actel_M1AGL\Sample Design\USB_Drivers” folder.
Step 4. Running the “Sample Design”
After the board is powered in Step 3, you should observe the LEDs
illuminating in a sequence that simulates a Traffic Light controller.
To further see the capability of the development kit, start the Traffic Light GUI
on the PC using the following procedure:
Expand the “Ports (COM & LPT)” tree in the view and note the COM port
(highlighted below).
On the PC click the Start button and open up the “Device Manager” by
navigating to “Control Panel -> System”. Then click the “Hardware” tab,
then the “Device Manager” button.
1. Find the PC COM port that corresponds to the RS-232 USB chip
connected to J2.
