There are now 6 errors at the bottom and 1 warning. The onchip_memory2_0 is added to the System Contents. This size is a bit short for our first example, so let’s replace it by 16384.

The On-Chip Memory (RAM or ROM)’s module window appears and in the Size area > Total memory size you could see 4096 bytes. Let’s continue by adding a new module: a memory.Ĭlick Library > Memories and Memory Controllers > On-Chip > On-Chip Memory (RAM or ROM) > +Add… You can see that the data_master and instruction_master are already linked to jtag_debug_module with a black line passing by a tiny black round.Īt the bottom, in the Messages tab, there are 4 errors.ĭon’t be afraid, we will fix it in a few moment. The Nios II core is added on the System Contents with the name nios2_qsys_0, let’s rename it by nios2_proc.

Everything is by default correct, so don’t modify anything. You can check all tabs to see what they contain. On the right you could see the clk_0 clock in the System Contents tab.

We have first of all to create a new Quartus project.įrom Quartus > File > New Project Wizard… Indeed a hidden Eclipse was installed with your Quartus installation.Īfter the compilation and the linkage of the user application and the BSP, a new file will be added: de1_blinker.elf.Īt this point, we will send it to the board in order to program it.įinally we will see the result directly on the board with red LEDs lit from switchers. You don’t need to have Eclipse already installed because the Indigo version will be launched for you when you will decide to create your BSP. SBT is a tool based on Eclipse, a well known open source IDE.

The user application and the BSP will be created with SBT (Software Build Tools). With this file we will be able to create the BSP (Board Support Package) that it will be compiled with our user application in C language. Then we will be able to create a program in C language in order to upload this program into the DE1 board.įor that, the design hardware will be created with Qsys and a file will be generated, that’s de1_blinker.sopcinfo.

We’re indeed going to choose which parts of hardware we want, realize the design and then create a software library from this design. This project is a mix between hardware and software. It’s not so easy to all understand first time, but at the end you will be proud to achieve this really interesting tutorial. If you had the DE2, you would have only few things to change. We will use the Altera DE1 board and Quartus II 13.0sp1. That said, let's get started with this tutorial and let's create your first System on Programmable Chip (SoPC) or System on Chip (SoC) with Qsys.įor this tutorial, we will realize a system which lights two LEDs from two switchers. It's just normal because Qsys is the new name of the SOPC Builder and its improvement. Then, don't be surprised not having, for example, the simple SOPC Builder tool in your Quartus version. So if you are using Quartus 13.0.x, you should have it. Qsys is the new Altera SOPC Builder tool.
