EIE VLSI Lab 2 - Quartus Prime & DE1-SoC & FPGA implementation of LED Counter (Platform: Quartus Lite v.20.1.1)
Laboratory Objectives The objectives of this laboratory are: l Synthesize designs targeting a particular prototyping board l Download a design to the FPGA prototyping board and have a fully functional design l Understand the use constraint files l Learn how to interface with the prototyping board through switches and buttons. Introduction The following design will output the 4 MSB of a 32-bit counter to 4 LEDs of the DE1-SoC prototyping board. By changing switch 8 of the board it should count UP or DOWN. Terasic DE1-SoC Board The Terasic DE1-SoC prototyping board contains a single Cyclone V FPGA connected to a serious or peripherals and interconnects in order to communicate with other devices. Terasic's DE1-SoC board contains the following major parts: 1) FPGA: l Cyclone V SoC 5CSEMA5F31C6 Device l Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 (HPS) l 85K P...
