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 DE2 board from Altera. It carries an
Altera's Cyclone II EP2C35 FPGA in a 672-pin package. This FPGA has 33,216
programmable logic elements, 480K of on-chip RAM bits, 35 embedded 9-bit
multipliers, and four phase locked loops (PLLs).
The FPGA configuration file is downloaded from
the host computer via USB port.
