Syllabus

Lecture Notes

You are strongly encourage to print these lecture notes and bring them to class. They are the slides that will be used in class, and will be useful as starting points for you as you take notes during class.

I will start every class (except exams) with a review problem, taken from the following set. I strongly recommend you print these out and bring them to class. BTW, these examples contain many problems that have been on previous exams, so they are good study aids. Doing the problems given at the beginning of class before class starts is a great way to be prepared for the exam.

Example Problems

The Quartus II tutorial, for labs #1 and #2, is here.

The Lab #1 files for Quartus are here.

Most of your labs will involve Verilog. The class Verilog tutorial is here. There is also a Verilog Quick Reference Card that may be of interest.

Labs on student machines

To use your own Windows PC to do your labs, grab the Quartus 17.0 files here.

If you have a Mac, students have had luck with these instructions.

Lab #8 and DE1-SoC Peripherals

Although most lab #8 projects can be done with the base DE1 board, plus the optional 16x16 LED matrix board, the DE1-SoC has TONS of interesting peripherals available. Follow the link on this paragraph's title to get to a page with tutorials on the DE1-SoC I/Os that are supported, including System Verilog files to help you use them.
