VHDL Adder Tutorial for Danjel Board

This document provides a tutorial for using Quartus II design software to design a 2-bit adder circuit and program it onto an Altera FPGA development board called the "Danjel board". The tutorial walks through creating a new project, designing the adder circuit in VHDL, compiling and simulating the design, assigning pins to the FPGA chip, and programming the circuit onto the board. Key steps include writing VHDL code for the adder, using the simulator to test the design, assigning signals to FPGA pins in the Pin Planner, and using the Programmer to program the FPGA chip on the Danjel board.

1. Connect the board with the USB connection. (if the danjel board is not recognized
please install the driver)

Pin Assignment
To let know wich pins are connected to the signals of the chip pins, you have to do the
chiplanner.

Choose from the pull down menu:


Assignments > pin planner

Here you see. The pins of the chip and your signals of your design.

For testing te circuit we use the dipswitches of the board an 3 LED’s as output:

Signal name Chip pin Board


function
a0 51 DP8
a1 52 DP7
b0 53 DP6
b1 54 DP5
Sum0 81 Led 2
Sum1 82 Led 3
Carry 83 Led 4
