EECE 381 You may be using the Nios II EDS. EECE 353, 355 You are using the Nios II EDS. However, for older versions of Quartus II (eg, prior to 11.0), you must download this separately. The latest versions of Quartus II (12.1 or higher) already includes this software. This is the C compiler and Integrated Development Environment (IDE - a combined editor and compiler) for programming Altera's Nios II processor. EECE 259, 353 Choose the version of ModelSim that matches your Quartus II distribution (eg, 10.1d for 13.0 SP1). If it is missing (eg, in 11.0), it can be installed separately.

A simple simulator and waveform editor, called QSim, is built-in to some versions of Quartus II. For home use, you want the Starter Edition, which is free. This is the advanced VHDL/Verilog simulator. (For more information, read the 'Installing Altera Software' section below.) The DE1 and DE2 boards use Cyclone II. When you download individual files, be sure to download the proper device database(s) before you begin the Quartus installation. There are two different ways to download Quartus II: as a single large file (about 4.4GB), or as individual files (1.5GB for Quartus II, and 0.6GB for Cyclone II/III/IV Device Support). The Subscription Edition is installed on the UBC lab computers. You are using the Web Edition on your own computer (free). You can read about the differences between these editions here. Note 3 Subscription Edition vs Web Edition. If you are asked to download 13.0 SP1, you should click the link named SP1 in the same row as 13.0. Note 2 The acronym SP means Service Pack. You can waste a lot of time, and risk the success of the project, if you encounter unknown bugs with unknown solutions.ĮECE 259, 353, 355 Quartus II Web Edition 13.0 SP1 EECE 381 Check with the instructor Note 1 If taking both 353 and 381 together, check with instructor(s). In the world of real-life engineering tools, this is often done because the older versions have known bugs and workarounds, which will make your life easier. Don't be alarmed if your course is using an older version of Quartus.For the rest of the tools below, always download the same version (same row) that matches that Quartus version. Consult the list below to see which version is being used in your course.
