Assignment
#1:
The purpose
of this assignment is to introduce you to the software tools and hardware used
in this course. The main software tool is the Altera Quartus II Computer Aided Design (CAD) system. You will need
to install that software on your computer before you can start this lab. The
software will be distributed to you in class. You will be learning to design
hardware that will go into a kind of programmable logic chip call a
Field-Programmable Gate Array, or FPGA. The FPGA chip is mounted on a board
called the Altera DE2 Development and Education
board. This board will be used for the first six assignments and possibly the
final project of this course.
