This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5360, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.Programmable Logic has become more and more common as a core technology used to build electronic systems. By integrating soft-core or hardcore processors, these devices have become complete systems on a chip, steadily displacing general purpose processors and ASICs. In particular, high performance systems are now almost always implemented with FPGAs.This course will give you the foundation for FPGA design in Embedded Systems along with practical design skills.

University of Florida EEL 3701 Dr. Schwartz Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Revision 0 29-Aug-16 Page 1/2 Altera USB Blaster Driver Installation Instructions. To install the driver for your USB Blaster cable, follow the instruction for your particular operating system. 2 Altera Corporation University Program October 2012 I NTRODUCTION TO S from ELECTRICAL W4823 at Columbia University.
You will learn what an FPGA is and how this technology was developed, how to select the best FPGA architecture for a given application, how to use state of the art software tools for FPGA development, and solve critical digital design problems using FPGAs. You use FPGA development tools to complete several example designs, including a custom processor. If you are thinking of a career in Electronics Design or an engineer looking at a career change, this is a great course to enhance your career opportunities.Hardware Requirements:You must have access to computer resources to run the development tools, a PC running either Windows 7, 8, or 10 or a recent Linux OS which must be RHEL 6.5 or CentOS Linux 6.5 or later. Either Linux OS could be run as a virtual machine under Windows 8 or 10.
The tools do not run on Apple Mac computers. Whatever the OS, the computer must have at least 8 GB of RAM. Most new laptops will have this, or it may be possible to upgrade the memory. This video will guide you as you download the Altera Quartus Prime development suite version 16.1. Quartus Prime is a very powerful tool that we'll use throughout the course to explore the world of FPGA designs. There are a number of steps in this process, please follow them carefully to assure success.
Feel free to pause this video at any time while you wait for files to download. To find the Quartus download go to the link listed here at altera.com/downloads/downloadsCenter. Select the Quartus Prime software Lite Edition.
This will take you to the Confirm that your computer meets the system requirements. Confirm that your computer meets the system requirements for operating systems. You'll need Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 8.1 or 10 or Redhat Linux 5.10, 6.5 or 7.2, CentOS Linux 6 will also work. For the NiosIIEdS, you may need to run in Windows 8 compatibility mode, if you have Windows 10. Confirm that your computer meets the system requirements for memory.
You'll need at least 14 gigabytes of hard drive space free and at least two gigabytes of RAM. If you do not have access to a machine that meets both the operating system and memory requirements, you should stop now and get this resource before continuing with the course. Hit the back button on your browser to return to the download section for Quartus Prime Lite Edition. Select release 16.1. Select the operating system for your computer. On the individual files tab Select All, and then deselect Arria II device support to reduce the download size.
Click Download Selected Files, store the installation files in a folder of your choice. Depending on your download speed, this may take from a few minutes to a few hours. The total download size is 4.75 gigabytes. When you are done you should see this message 'Download complete!
![Altera download center Altera download center](http://denethor.wlu.ca/quartus/qsim_open_project_select.png)
You can begin the installation process.' Before you install Quartus, you also need to download Quartus Help and the programming tool found on the additional software tab. Download these two files and the downloads are complete. For Help with installation, please see the next video.
