In the Node Finder, change the Filter to Pins:all and click on the List button to see all the pins. In the "Insert Node or Bus" window, click the Node-Finder button. Now we need to add our pins to the waveform file. Go to File -> New and choose vector waveform file from the list. The first step is to set up a vector waveform file.

Now that we have our project, we can set up some inputs and see what the outputs would be to see if our design is correct.

Now you need to assign the pins in your design, to actual pins on the board.ĭouble-click in the Location cell of the pin to bring up the menu of choices.Īssign pins according to the following diagram and then RERUN THE COMPILATION. If it's not successful, check the error messages to see what went wrong. If you didn't make any mistakes, you should have a successful compilation. Once everything is connected, you can start compilation of the project. Use the Orthogonal Node Tool to draw the connections.Īnd after connecting all the parts, change the names of the input and output pins. Now you need to connect them according to the following diagram. The vcc will be found under primitives, then other in the symbol menu. Now do the same thing and insert three output pins. Next, go back to the insert symbols menu and this time choose an input pin. You should now have three tffs in your design. Check the Repeat-insert mode box, since we'll need three of these. The first item to insert is a tff (toggle flipflop). Get to the symbol menu by going to Edit -> Insert Symbol or use the Symbol Tool. Go to File -> New and choose Block Diagram/Schematic File from the window that pops up. So the first step is to open a new schematic file. In this example, we'll do it graphically. Now we need to put the design the counter. This last window is just the summary of the project that has just been setup. Make sure that you have Family set to MAX II and Devices All. If you look at our development kits, you should be able to read our chip, which is a MAX II EPM2210F324C3N, so select that chip (don't worry about the last N) in the list. This is where we specify which chip we're using. If the directory you specify is not present, you'll be prompted to create it. Pick a place to store the project files and give the project a name. Start Quartus and go to File -> New Project Wizard.
#Altera quartus ii create symbol zip file#
And four, load the project to the development kit.ģbit_counter.zip - Zip file of all files from this example. One, set up the directories to hold the project. There are four basic steps to using the development kit.
