Loading Blinky into the FPGA
▶
There are two ways to get access to the USB Blaster programmer.
1. On the tool bar at the top of the Quartus II window go to
Tools---Programmer.
2. In the Task window where you clicked Compile Design double
click Program Device (Open Programmer).
▶
Make sure that the DE2-70 RUN/PROG switch (left middle side) is in
the RUN position.
▶
The programmer support is normally configured properly and all
one needs is to click the Start button. Progress is indicated in the
Progress window.
▶
Sometimes the USB-Blaster isn’t connected to the programmer
suport. Sometimes this means the USB cable is not present or the
DE2-70 is powered off. Sometimes, for some reason, the driver isn’t
present in the PC.
▶
The file to be loaded into the FPGA has a .sof extension.
