Usage

EPM570 with jumper.png
  • Do not plug the JTAG with power, this will damage the board
  • Burned program blink LED on factory setting, when you power the board, the series LED will blink
  • Board support both EPM240T100C5N and EPM570T100C5N
For EPM240T100C5N: PIN37, 39, 88, 90 is for IO
For EPM570T100C5N: PIN37, 90 must connect GND, and PIN39, 88 must connect 3v3. And for EPM570T100C5N board, there are four jumpers on the board, please do not remove.

Programming

Programmer - Quartus Prime 16.0 Programmer

  • provide power alone, JTAG can not power the target
  • programming file support *.sof *.pof *.jam *.jbc *.ekp *.jic


Tool Chain

  • IDE - QUARTUS II
  • Hardware setup - USB Blaster
  • programming file .sof

Quartus Use Guidelines

  • Setup projects, devices, devices and pin options (unused pins -> all input tri-stated, voltage 3.3V LVTTL)
  • Write first Verilog HDL code
  • Start -> Start analysis and synthesis (CTRL+K, Processing)
  • Netlist reviewers (Tool) -> check RTL viewer
  • Pin Plannar (assignment)-> assign pins (CLK_IN -> PIN_J5, LED1 -> PIN_K11, LED2 -> PIN_N15, rst_n_in -> PIN_J9)
  • Start Complilation (CTRL+L,Processing)
  • Programmer (Tool)

Interface

Quartus 11

  • Install 11.0_quartus_windows
  • Install 11.0_devices_windows -> include only Cyclone II, Max II
