How can I use the adc on Cyclone 10 LP evaluation board ?

Hi,

I try to build a 3 phase brushless dc motor driver on this fpga and i have to get analog inputs from sensors measuring RPM of motor and current through motor. Cyclone 10 lp explains how to get analog input using I2C interface.

://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/kvh1494630606457.html#lqw1516913861738

I found an implementation of I2C on vhdl here https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=10125324#I2CMaster(VHDL)-ExampleTransaction

But I am not an experienced FPGA designer so if you have any experience or knowledge about using adcs on FPGAs any help would be appreciated.

    If you're using any of the DE series boards, you can try using the ADC IP from Qsys. This will help you connect to the ADC chip and read data from it easily.
