ECE385 Note 1

Problem Statement

After finishing the fpga software and hardware design using Quartus, connecting all the stuff together and downloading the program to the board is annoying, here is the detailed steps in case I forget it. (Software designed by Intel sucks!)

Step 0

If you include your self defined IP module, firstly you should generate HDL in platform designer under the tool.

Step 1

Compile the whole project

Step 2

Download the program to the board.

Step 3

If you use the software (use the NIOS processor), go to the Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse under the tool.

First, click generate BSP.

Then, click build all for your software code.

Finally, run!
