Complete the project:
Click Generate to complete this project.
7.
Add custom design:
i.
Use Quartus II software to open the project created previously.
ii.
Open the top-level file DE3_MTDB.v, users can find that the DE3 System
Builder has created the I/O port name, I/O direction and pin assignments for
the MTDB board:
////////// HSTCC (J5 HSTC-C TOP/J6, HSTC-C BOTTOM), connect to
MTDB(MTDB Board) //////////
output
HSTCC_ADC_DCLK;
input
HSTCC_TX_CLK;
output
HSTCC_ADC_DIN;
input
HSTCC_ADC_PENIRQ_n;
output [7:0] HSTCC_LCD_DATA;
.
.
.
iii.
Users can add the user logic into the project to access the MTDB board.
iv.
Compile the project to generate the SRAM Object files (.sof)
8.
Configure the FPGA device:
i.
If the generated project is configured to FPGA device for the first time, please
make sure all the boards are removed from the DE3 board before powering up.
ii.
Configure the FPGA device via the USB cable.
iii.
Check the status of I/O Group indication LEDs to see if the voltage level for
I/O Group is correct.
iv.
Power off the DE3 board and plug the MTDB board to the HSTC connector C
(J5) onboard.
v.
Configure the FPGA device via the USB cable again and check the user logic
function for MTDB board.
4.6
Connect Multiple DE3 Boards
This section provides a demonstration on how to create a project when two DE3 boards are
connected via the DE3 System Builder.
Figure 4.16
shows the connection for the two DE3 boards.
