Mechanics of Altera DE2 Projects
There are four steps involved in programming the DE2 board
 |
Setup project
To setup a new project, first copy any existing design files into a new folder. For this project, download and unpack design files from diglab1.zipSelect File - New Project Wizard from the top menu.
The New Project Wizard helps you create a new project and preliminary project settings, including the following:
- Project name and directory
- Name of the top-level design entity
- Project files and libraries
- Target device family and device
- EDA tool settings
Import Assignments
Select Assignments - Import Assignments ... from the top menu.The DE2 board has a default set of pin assignments (and associated pin names) in DE2_pin_assignments.csv. Your life will be much easier if you import this file and use the variable names assigned by the developer. |  |
Compile Project
Choose Processing – Start Compilation from the top menu. The compilation processing may take awhile. Below is a screen capture after compilation.
Program the DE2 Board
Choose Tools – Programmer.Make sure the USB cable is in place, and USB Blaster is the selected device. Check the Program/Configure box if not already checked.If the USB Blaster is not the selected hardware device, you can press the Hardware Setup button |  |
Hardware Setup
| This dialog allows you to select a programming hardware setup to use when programming devices. The button labeled Add Hardware ... is used to add a new hardware driver, not to add a new selection. Just select a hardware configuration from the list to highlight it, then press the Close button. |  |
