The main software tool for this class is the
Altera’s Quartus II.
This is a comprehensive package includes schematic editor, state diagram editor,
VHDL and Verilog entry and synthesis tools, integrated waveform and timing
simulator, DSP design tools and utilities, and FPGA implementation and
configuration tools. Altera offers a free "web edition" of Quartus II; which
can be downloaded directly from the company website above. Students are
encouraged to obtain this free program to use at home.

The
main hardware facility is the UP-2 board from Altera. It carries a Altera's
Flex10K EPF10K70 FPGA (5.0V/3.3V/2.5V, 70K equivalent logic gates, 200MHz, in
a 240-pin RQFP). The FPGA configuration file is downloaded from the host
computer via a special parallel cable: ByteBlaster II.
