Altera_learn

I have created these materials to help training on Altera® EDA software. The material assumes some familiarity with:

• FPGA basics
• SystemVerilog

For now, all material is in SystemVerilog.

Each section is organized into presentation material for introduction and a lab.

Prerequisites

• Quartus® Prime Pro software installed on a computer
  • Quartus download
  • Ubuntu 24.04 has been used for the initial release
• License for Quartus Prime Pro Software
  • A 30 day evaluation license is available from first installation of the software, as shown in the installation and licensing guide
  • A 90 day evaluation license may be generated through the self service license centre
  • Free licenses for Agilex 3 and Agilex 5 E support within the Quartus Prime Pro software are available. For more information, see acquiring free no cost licenses

Updating

The slides are authored in markdown and exported as reveal.js.

Windows

run:

build_mermaid.bat
build_slides.bat

Then commit all changes and push. Github pages will automatically update from main branch.

Requires node, mermaid, pandoc.

Linux

Require: npm: apt install npm set up node to use node version manager: install guide mermaid: npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli pupetteer: npm install -g puppeteer chrome (that mermaid wants) headless chromium: npx puppeteer browsers install chrome-headless-shell pandoc

As mermaid is rendered first it makes sense to render your mermaid first so you can then see it inline if you're using an editor that renders your markdown for you like Typora or ghostwriter.
