If you are using a DE1 or DE2 board:
Select the
Cyclone II
Family FPGA. The DE1 uses an
EP2C20F484C7
device
and the DE2 uses a
EP2C35F672C6
device.
If you are using the UP3 board:
Select
Cyclone
family. You will then need to select the specific FPGA device
number on your board. The UP3 is available with two different sizes of
Cyclone FPGAs: an
EP1C6Q240C8
(UP3 1C6 board) or the larger
EP1C12Q240C8
(UP3 1C12 board). Check the large square chip in the middle
of the board to verify the exact FPGA part number.
If you are using a UP2 or UP1:
Select
FLEX10K
family. On the UP2, it will be a
EPF10K70RC240-
X
(-
X
is
the speed grade of the chip)
.
Check the large square chip in the middle on the
right side of the board to verify the FPGA part number. If you see
EPF10K20RC240
on the FPGA, you have a UP1 board. The original UP1
boards can also be used. The UP1 looks very similar to a UP2 and they use the
same pin assignments and have the same I/O features as the UP2, but they
contain a EPF10K20RC240 FPGA with fewer logic elements. UP1 users
should always follow the instructions for the UP2, but specify the
EPF10K20RC240 device type for each project.
All Boards:
The last digit in the FPGA part number is the speed grade. The correct speed
grade is needed for accurate delays in timing simulations. You may need to
change the setting of the Speed Grade on Pin Count dialog box to
Any
to
display your specific device. Always choose the correct speed grade to match
your board's FPGA so that the correct delay times are used in the logic
simulation tools.
If you choose the wrong device type, you will have errors when you attempt to
download your design to the FPGA.
After selecting the correct FPGA part number, click
Next,
then on the third-
party EDA tools settings box also click
Next
since we will not be using any
third-party EDA tools - only Quartus II. Double check the information
summary page that appears and click
Finish
. In case of problems, use the back
option to make changes.
