    Circuit Design With VHDL: Tutorial Quartus 14 and The "Danjel" Board

    Uploaded by

    awsd
    This document provides a tutorial for using Quartus II design software to design a 2-bit adder circuit and program it onto an Altera FPGA development board called the "Danjel board". The tutorial walks through creating a new project, designing the adder circuit in VHDL, compiling and simulating the design, assigning pins to the FPGA chip, and programming the circuit onto the board. Key steps include writing VHDL code for the adder, using the simulator to test the design, assigning signals to FPGA pins in the Pin Planner, and using the Programmer to program the FPGA chip on the Danjel board.

    If you copied the file exact as above :

    Double click on the first fault red sentence and correct your VHDL file

    (missing “;”)

    Repeat the control.

    Correct also the second fault.

    If you do not have any mistakes anymore , you can compile:

    From the pull down menu:


    Processing > Start Compilation. (This takes some time)

    Danjel Circuit

    Hans Stokkink January 2015 18 18


    Tutorial Quartus

    1. Connect the board with the USB connection. (if the danjel board is not recognized
    please install the driver)

    Pin Assignment
    To let know wich pins are connected to the signals of the chip pins, you have to do the
    chiplanner.

    Choose from the pull down menu:


    Assignments > pin planner

    Here you see. The pins of the chip and your signals of your design.

    For testing te circuit we use the dipswitches of the board an 3 LED’s as output:

    Signal name Chip pin Board


    function
    a0 51 DP8
    a1 52 DP7
    b0 53 DP6
    b1 54 DP5
    Sum0 81 Led 2
    Sum1 82 Led 3
    Carry 83 Led 4

    Push button add file:


    Push button hardware setup:

    Choose the adder2.pof file from the “output_files “directory


    Check the checkboxes for program and verify:

    Start
    If everything is right there will be a green progress bar, taking some seconds while
    programming . If ready you can test the adder on your danjel board.
    End Tutorial.
