Hi, I am kind of new to FPGA.
I tried reverse engineering projects from DE2 and migrate them to DE2-70 to learn how SOPC is used to create the NIOS system. So far, I only managed to make the Example 2 Pixel Buffer to work on the DE2-70. Example 1 Character Buffer compiles and loads to the board but nothing is displayed on the VGA monitor. Seen that I was able to display pixels to the VGA monitor, I proceeded to tried to display the image in the LCD touch screen. I have been trying to make the LCD touch screen work with NIOS2 on the DE2-70 board for the past month and the experience has been frustrating. The examples provided by the CD is all in verilog without NIOS 2 system. I do not know what components to add to the SOPC when building the NIOS system. All I want to get started is to be able to interact with the LCD touch screen. Anyone managed to make the LCD touch screen work with NIOS 2? I know the board is pretty old but when I bought it, Cyclone III was just released. I should have waited a bit before buying the board. Peter
