Objectives
Create a project using the New Project Wizard Name the project Add design files Pick a device
Step 1 (Setup Project for QII5_1)

Under File, Select New Project Wizard. A new window appears. If an Introduction screen appears, click Next.

Page 1 of the wizard should be completed with the following
working directory for this project name of project <lab_install_directory> \Dsp_7_segment\ Dsp_7_segment
top-level design entity
Dsp_7_segment
Copy state_machine.v and past in Dsp_7_segment

Click Next to advance to the Project Wizard: Add Files [page 2 of 5].

Using the browse button, select state_machine.v Add to the project. Click Next.

On page 3, select Stratix as the Family. Also, in the Filters section, set Package to FBFA, Pin count to 780, and Speed grade to 5. Select the EP1S25F780C5 device from the Available devices: window. Click Next.

On page 4 , you can specify any third party EDA tools you may be using along with Quartus II. Since these exercises will be done entirely within Quartus II, click Next.

The summary screen appears as shown. Click Finish. The project is now created.

Objectives
Create a counter using the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager Build a design using the schematic editor Analyze and elaborate the design to check for errors
Step 1 Create schematic file

Select File New and select Block Diagram/Schematic File. Click OK. Select File Save As and save the file as <lab_install_directory> \Dsp_7_segment\ Dsp_7_segment.bdf
Step 2 Build an 23 bits counter using the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager

Click on Next. 2.On page 2a of the MegaWizard expand the arithmetic folder and select LPM_COUNTER. 3.Choose Verilog HDL output For the name of the output file, type timer_1s. Click on Next
Step 3
1. 2. 3. Set the output bus to 27 bits. For the remaining settings in this window, use the defaults that appear .. Select next .Turn on Modulus , with a count modulus of and key in 79999999 Select finish
Step 4
In the Graphic Editor, double-click in the screen so that the Symbol Window appears. Inside the symbol window, click on to expand the symbols defined in the Project folder. Double-click on timer_1s. Click the left mouse button to put down the symbol inside the schematic file.. The symbol for timer_1s now appears in the schematic.
Step 5
1. 2. From the File menu, open the file state_machine.v From the File menu, go the Create/Update menu option and select Create Symbol Files for Current File. Click Yes to save changes to Dsp_7_segment.bdf. Once Quartus II is finished creating the symbol, click OK. Close the state_machine.v file In the Graphic Editor, double-click in the screen so that the Symbol Window appears again. Double-click on state_machine in the Project folder. Click OK... The symbol for state_machine now appears in the schematic.

Step 6 Add Pins to the Design

Input sys_clk reset Output 7_out[6..0] Dig1
For each of the pins listed in left Table , you must insert a pin and change its name
1. 2. 3. 4. .
To place pins in the schematic file, go to Edit Insert Symbol OR double-click in any empty location of the Graphic Editor. Browse to libraries primitives pin folder. Double-click on input or output Hint: To insert multiple pins select Repeat Insert Mode. To rename the pins double-click on the pin name after it has been inserted. Type the name in the Pin name(s) field and Click OK
Step 7 Connect the Pins and Blocks in the Schematic

1. In the left hand tool bar click on button to draw a wire and button to draw a bus. Another way to draw wires and busses is to place the cursor next to the port of any symbol. When you do this, the wire or bus tool will automatically appear.
2.
Connect all of the pins and blocks as shown in the figure below
Step 8 Save and check the schematic

1. 2. Click on the Save button in the toolbar to save the schematic. From the Project menu, select Add/Remove Files in Project. Click on the browse button to make sure the Dsp_7_segment.bdf, timer_1s and state_machine are added to the project. From the Processing menu, select Start Start Analysis & Elaboration. Analysis and elaboration checks that all the design files are present and connections have been made correctly. Click OK when analysis and elaboration is completed
