Altera Monitor Program Integration
As we mentioned earlier, the DE1-SoC Computer system, and the sample programs described in this document, are
made available as part of the Altera Monitor Program. Figures
39
to
42
show a series of windows that are used
in the Monitor Program to create a new project. In the first screen, shown in Figure
39
, the user specifies a file
system folder where the project will be stored, gives the project a name, and specifies the type of processor that is
being used. Pressing
Next
opens the window in Figure
40
. Here, the user can select the DE1-SoC Computer as a
predesigned system. The Monitor Program then fills in the relevant information in the
System details
box, which
includes the files called
Computer_System.sopcinfo
and
DE1_SoC_Computer.sof
. The first of these files specifies
to the Monitor Program information about the components that are available in the DE1-SoC Computer, such as
the type of processor and memory components, and the address map. The second file is an FPGA programming
bitstream for the DE1-SoC Computer, which can downloaded by the Monitor Program into the DE1-SoC board.
