For anyone have experience with the THDB_ADA daughter card, I have 2 questions 1) Does the card provide extra general purpose I/Os from the FPGA to use? 2) Do I need an external HSMC connection ...

Hi All,

I use the Terasic ADA-HSMC daughter card with the Terasic DE3-150 development board and QuartusII/NiosII v9.1

I want to implement an arbitrary waveform generator using the analog output of the ADA card in a C/C++ environment using the embedded NiosII processor.

Unfortunately I´m a complete beginner and do not know how to setup the Quartus/SOPC/Nios system and there is no source code available for the ADA demo which comes with the daughter board.

Could anybody provide me the Quartus/SOPC/Nios project files for a basic example which shows me how to set an analog output of the ADA card in C/C++ ?

Thank you very much!

Hi there,

I found a link (https://lyle.smu.edu/~devans/2240/lookup-tables.pdf) that might be useful for you to begin with. The lookup table method is simple and straightforward.

Hope it helps,

David from Terasic
