Installing the FPGA Software
In order to run the FPGA software, it is necessary to install the following software from
www.altera.com:
•
Quartus Version 7.2 or later
•
Megacore 7.2 or later
•
NIOS II 7.2 IDE or later
Once the Altera software is installed, create the directory which should contain all of the Alter FPGA
loads and unpack the FPGA_loads.zip file into this directory.
Next, launch the a NIOS II Command Shell by selecting START->All Programs->Altera->NIOS II
EDS 7.2->NIOS II 7.2 Command Shell. This should create a window like the one shown in
Figure 13
.
Figure 13: NIOS II Command Shell Window
Due to restrictions on the Altera software, the directory path must not have any spaces.
Correct example: c:/my_fpga_loads
Incorrect example: c:/my fpga loads/temp
Instructions for the NIOS II 7.2 IDE are used below. Future versions of the IDE may require
different actions.
