This course will help you learn more about the Altera® FPGA design flow, from design creation to device programming using Quartus® Prime, beyond the Quartus Prime Introduction Course.

In this exercise, you will create an IP and edit it to incorporate it into an existing design file. After running a functional simulation of the completed design with Questa* -Intel® FPGA Edition to verify that the design works as specified, you will compile the project. You will also learn how to check the compilation results and how to set I/O placement. You will also learn how to create basic constraints and operate timing analysis using the static timing analysis tool Timing Analyzer. Finally, you will program the design used in the exercise on an actual development board and verify its operation.
