2. Install the USB Blaster driver software, as explained in the tutorial Getting Started with Altera 's DE2 Board. 3. The DE2 System CD-ROM provides a variety of material for use with the board To examine the disk, insert it into your computer's Cd drive and use a utility like windows Explorer to peruse the disks contents DE2 User Manual and Data Sheets: the complete manual for using the dE2 board is provided in the DE2 user manual folder on the Cd-Rom. Data Sheets for each of the i/o devices on the de2 board such as the memory chips, LCD, Audio CODEC, IrDA, RS232, TV Decoder, USB, Ethernet, and VGA DAC are provided in the Datasheets folder. DE2 Schematic Diagrams: detailed schematic diagrams for all circuits on the dE2 board are provided in the folder called DE2 schematics Tutorials. a set of tutorials are included in the de2 tutorials folder on the cd-rom that illustrate how t use the Quartus II software and the DE2 board. Topics covered in the tutorials include Quartus I Introduction, Getting Started with Alteras DE2 Board, Using the Library of parameterized modules (LPMS), Timing Considerations, Quartus II Simulation, and(coming soon) Using Nios I and SOPC Builder with the quartus l Software Laboratory Exercises: a set of ready-to-teach laboratory exercises are included on the CD-ROM. These exercises can be used for self-study, or they can serve as a significant part of the laboratory component of a university or college course in digital logic. The early exercises are simple ones that illustrate fundamental concepts and perform simple operations on the DE2 board, like using switches and controlling LEDs and 7-segment displays. Later exercises progress to more advanced topics such as ithmetic circuits, counters, state machines, memory devices, datapaths, and simple processors. The tutorials are found in the folder DE2 lab exercises on the CD-ROM, with subfolders provided for versions of the exercises that use VHDL and Verilog hardware description languages Demonstrations: a set of demonstrations that illustrate the dE2 board's features are provided in the DE2 demonstrations folder. Examples include: VGA Graphics Generator, TV(NTSC/PAL) Controller. Music Player, SD Card Sound Player, PS/2 Keyboard, SDRAM Controller, Flash Controller, RS-232 Controller, USB Controller, and Ethernet Controller. A programming file that can be downloaded into the dE2 board is provided for each demonstration example, as well as the source code in Verilog hdl DE2 Control Panel: This application, which runs on PC platforms under Windows XP, allows remote control of the de2 board through a usb cable. the de2 Control panel is found in the folder called DE2 control panel; instructions for its use are given in the dE2 User Manual Power on test To design and implement circuits on the DE2 board, it is necessary to install the accompanying software, described on the previous page. Without installing any software, a simple power on test can be done supply to the DE2 board. Make sure the RUN/PROG switch is in the RUn position and then connect this power 1. Plug the supplied 9 volt dC power supply into an aC power outlet (100V-240V) 2. Connect the dE2 board to your computer using the supplied USB cable 3. Optionally connect the dE2 board VGa connector to a VGa monitor, and the line-out(green)audio connector to a speaker or headset 4. Turn on the DE2 power by pressing the red power button. You should be able to observe the following The blue POWER LED is on and the blue GOOD LED( Cyclone II FPGA configured)is on The 7-segment displays show a sequence of characters The red and green LEDs are flashing UNIVERSITY PROGRAM The VGa monitor is displaying a color patter a humming sound is produced by the audio line-out if switch SW17 is U Change SW17 to be DOwn and use microphone-in or line-in to hear sound A吉RA The LCd display shows Welcome to the Altera DE2 Board Learning Through Innovation ra corAltera Corporation 4 2.
