When it is complete it should give a message that indicates, “Full compilation was successful”. The compilation takes several seconds.To run the compiler, choose Processing / Start Compilation. Finally, it runs an assembler and timing analyzer. It then fits the design to a template of an EP2C35F672C6. In this step Quartus II performs an analysis and synthesis of the bdf file to make sure that there are no errors in our logic. To save the updated bdf file, choose File > Save.Position these symbols as shown in Figure 6-10. Input and output symbols are available in the C:/ altera/91sp2/ quartus/libraries/primitive/pin directory. Add two input and one output pin to your schematic.Browse the subdirectories to become acquainted with the symbols available for your use. Available libraries are the Altera primitives containing basic logic building blocks, macrofunctions (mf) of the 7400 family logic (available in the others directory), and megafunctions containing library of parameterized modules (LPMs) for high-level circuit functions.Hint: If you know the name of the symbol, you can type the symbol name in the Name window without the need to search the directories for that symbol.If left checked, right click the mouse button and select Cancel after inserting your first symbol into the schematic file. The Repeat-insert mode box by default is checked, allowing for multiple gates to be inserted into the schematic file. Position the symbol near the center of the Block Diagram window then click the left mouse button to anchor the symbol in place. De-select the Repeat-insert mode then click OK.By default, the top-level entity name and project name will be the same however, you may enter a different top-level entity name. (I recommend that you create a subfolder of your last name such as ‘ kwon’ as shown above so that you always keep and save your files under your subfolder) Enter lab 6_ 1 as the project name and as the top-level entity name. Enter the appropriate drive letter for your designated storage area on the computer you are using or select the directory with Browse ( …) followed by the working directory C :\altera\91sp2\quartus\kwon\Lab 6.
Examples shown in this lab manual will show drive C.
Enter the Working directory, project name and name of your top-level entity of your project.
Various Utility windows appear below the toolbar depending on which ones have been selected ( View – Utility Windows).
Once the software opens, you will see a menu bar at the top of the screen with names similar to those you would find in most Windows-based programs, that is, File, Edit, View, Tools, Window, and Help. If your computer is connected to the Internet, Quartus II automatically checks for updates and displays a message in the work area should updates exist on the website. From the desktop, select Start – Programs – Quartus II.Other toolbar buttons will be discussed in the lab where appropriate.įigure 6-1 Part 1 Quartus II Tutorial Open the Quartus II
This horizontal toolbar contains buttons such as: New, Open, Save, Print, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo and Redo. These icons are located at the top of the Quartus II application window. The Tools toolbar icons you will be using in this lab are identified in Figure 6-1. Analyze waveforms and develop truth tables for logic circuits.
