Compile the Project
Select Processing Start Compilation . Train.vhd will link in your
tcontrol.vhd file if it is in the same directory, when compiled. This is a large
program, so it will take a few seconds to compile.
Download the Video Train Simulation
Select To o l s Programmer . When the programmer window opens click on the
Program/Configure box if it is not already selected. In case of problems, see the
FPGA board download tutorials in Chapter 1 for more details. The FPGA board
must be turned on the power supply must be connected, and the Byteblaster*
cable must be plugged into the PC. When everything is setup, the start button in
the programming window should highlight. If the start button is not
highlighted, try closing and reopening the programmer window. Under
Hardware setup the Byteblaster should be selected. To download the board,
click on the highlighted start button. Attach a VGA monitor to the FPGA
board.

Viewing the Video Train Simulation
Train output should appear on the VGA monitor after downloading is complete
as seen in Figure 8.11. On the DE1 and DE2, FPGA KEY2 is run/step/stop and
FPGA KEY1 is the reset. Train A is displayed in black and Train B is displayed
