Example Projects and Board File for MAX 10 FPGA 10M50 EVAL KIT

Dear Reader, I am a Xilinx user and have used Quartus in the past. Currently I am evaluating the MAX10 and may purchase the 10M50 EVAL KIT for a MIPI CSI-2 project. I started with the Lite/Free Ve...

    Hi Anand,

    Thanks for your help with this question:

    > Example Projects and Board File for MAX 10 FPGA 10M50 EVAL KIT

    I think you have given me, and directed me, to the resources that were available to you. I have purchased "eval boards" from Altera, Xilinx, Digilent, Microchip, ST Micro, and Texas Instruments.. Although eval boards often have outdated documentation, I have never seen such a lack of documentation for an eval board!

    The plan from here is to:

    > Stop work on the INTEL MAX 10 FPGA 10M50 EVAL KIT

    > Buy and develop using the TERASIC DE10-LITE MAX10 EVAL BOARD

    The Terasic boardo doesn't support the original MIPI CSI2 effort, but has enough resources to advance other aspects of the development.

    Thanks,

    Dave

Hi Anand,

Thanks for the links. I have since edited the text, apparently the screens shots were deleted?

(a) Per the Documentation web page, I installed Quartus 15.1:

> Quartus Prime Lite (Prime and Help)

> ModelSim Starter

(b) Following "My first ... fpga" instructions I get these warnings:

> Not compatible with Win8 or above (I am using Win10 64bit)

> Need to download device support

Quartus 17.1 and 18.1 installed and ran with no problems.

Clicking [OK] through these appears to be dead end.

(c) I found these text files, they have the right information, not sure how to use them:

> golden_top.qsf

> golden_top.v

(d) Looking at projects I find these three. Are they "Getting Started" projects?

> MAX10 LPDDR2 ...

> MIPI CSI2

> Design Example, LPDDR2 200MHz

Please advise Quartus version, Getting Started projects, etc.

Thanks,

Dave
