Install the Design Software
This section teaches you how to install the Quartus II software v9.0 and the
Nios II EDS v9.0. The design software is available on the Altera Complete Design
Suite DVD or by downloading from the web.
Two installation options are available for the Altera Complete Design Suite, a
subscription package and a free package.
The subscription package requires a paid subscription license, which entitles you to a
full license for Altera's MegaCore IP library base suite. The free package requires you
to register but does not require that you pay for a license. It includes the free
Quartus II Web Edition version of the tools. If you are using the free package, follow
the prompts to obtain your Web Edition license file. This license enables the
Quartus II Web Edition software to generate the FPGA programming files required
for this tutorial.
To install the Altera Complete Design Suite, perform one of the following steps:
■ Insert the Altera Complete Design Suite DVD-ROM and follow the installation
prompts.
■ Download the Subscription Edition or the Web Edition of the Quartus II software
from https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/
sof-download_center.html.
f For information about installing the Quartus II software, refer to Quartus II Installation
& Licensing for Windows and Linux Workstations.
Install the USB Device Driver
After the software is installed, you can connect the NEEK board to the USB port on
your PC. If the software prompts you to install the USB Blaster driver, install it from
the following location:
<Altera software installation directory>\90\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster. If the driver
is not located in this directory, install the appropriate version for your system from the
following web page: www.altera.com/support/software/drivers.
f For additional information, refer to the USB-Blaster Download Cable User Guide.
Extract the Tutorial Files
The tutorial files are available for download as a compressed zip file (.zip) adjacent to
this tutorial on the Altera literature web pages. When you extract the files from this
.zip, you must ensure that the directory path on your PC contains only folder names
with no spaces in them. The directory in which you unzip the tutorial files is your
working directory.
