1.1 Design Entry using the Graphic Editor
Examine the CAD tool overview diagram in Figure 1.5. The initial path in this
section will be from schematic capture (Graphical Entry) to downloading the
design to the FPGA board. On the way, we will pass through some of the
nuances of the Compiler along with setting up and controlling a simulation.
Later, after having actually tested the design, we will examine the Timing
Analysis information of the design. Although relatively short, each step is
carefully illustrated and explained. Install the Altera Quartus II software on
your PC using the topic's DVD, if it is not already installed.
