Quartus? II Software Design Series: Foundation Exercise 1 Objectives: Create a project using the New Project Wizard Name the project Pick a device Note: In these exercises, you’ll create a brand new project and complete an existing design. You’ll have the choice of creating the design using three different types of design entry: Verilog, VHDL, or as a Quartus II schematic. Where noted, be sure to only follow the instructions appropriate for your choice of design entry method. By the end of the class, you’ll have a final, optimized design, ready for programming into a Cyclone? IV E FPGA device. Be sure to completely read the instructions for each step and sub-step in this lab manual. Each step first summarizes what you’ll be doing in that step before providing complete instructions. Use the lines next to each step (____) to keep track of your progress or to check off completed steps in the exercises. If you have any questions or problems, please ask the instructor for assistance.Step 1: Create new project for use in the lab exercises Unzip the lab project files. In an Explorer window, go to C:\altera_trn\Quartus_II_Software_Design_Series_Foundation. The name of the directory may be shortened to Quartus_II_Foundation or similar on some machines. This will be your lab installation directory. Delete any old lab file folders that may already exist there labeled QIIF*. Double-click the executable file found in that location or the file you downloaded from the link in your class registration email. If you still cannot find this file, ask your instructor for assistance. In the WinZip dialog box, simply click Unzip to automatically extract the files in place to a new folder named QIIF11_0 in the directory mentioned above. Close WinZip. Start the Quartus II software. In the Windows Start menu from the All Programs list, go to the Altera folder and then the Quartus II 11.0 folder. Depending on your operating system, click Quartus II 11.0 (64-bit) or Quartus
