If you're new to FPGAs and Quartus® Prime, but want to learn everything at once, this is the course for you!
(This course is intended for those with a basic understanding of VHDL and Verilog-HDL.)

<First session>
[Part 1] Learn what kind of device an FPGA is, its features, and an overview of the development flow.

*Part 1 can be omitted. The course fee remains the same even if you omit it.

[Part 2] Learn how to use Quartus® Prime. The design used in the exercises will be created in HDL. You will learn how to set options that take advantage of FPGA characteristics, how to set I/O placement, FPGA clock networks and I/O functions, timing constraints, and how to use the Timing Analyzer required for analysis. After compilation, you will learn how to read the report and how to use the Timing Analyzer required for timing analysis. (Continued in Part 2)

<2nd session>
