Tutorial

This tutorial will give you an introduction to the tools and guide you through the design of very simple gate-level circuits to more complex design including processors and peripherals.

• Simple hardware design

1. Project creation
2. Create a block diagram (beginner) or Create a VHDL file (intermediate)
3. Simulation in ModelSim
4. Pin assignment
5. Programming the FPGA

• Designing a full system (TO BE UPDATED)

1. SOPC Builder
2. Quartus II project
3. Nios II project
4. Adding more elements
   • EPCS
   • UART
   • Parallel input (8 bits, switches)
   • Parallel output (8 bits, LEDs)
   • Parallel bidirectional (8 bits, switches/LEDs)
