FPGA Stratix II Pin assignment and control panel

You've provided an FPGA *part number*, not a board type. If you can figure out what board you have, then some one might be able to help.

For example, is this the Stratix II DSP Development Kit?

Cheers,

Dave

Yes, it is Stratix II DSP Development Kit

Thanks,

Mourad

This is the link for the Board I have

Thanks,

Since I can not provide link for the board. It can be seen on Altera website in the following sequence

Home > Products > Development Kits/Cables > DSP Development Kit, Stratix II Edition

Ok, here's a design for that kit.

Keep in mind two things;

1. Stratix II devices require a Quartus II subscription edition.

2. The "ES" version of this board sucks, because the M-RAM does not work on the ES samples. (Unfortunately I have an ES version)

I see the main Altera site doesn't have much info regarding this board any more. Let me know if you want the schematic or anything else, as I probably have the CD-ROM that shipped with the kit.

Dave

PS. I just re-read your original post and see that you have the ES device - bummer. Make sure you edit synth.tcl to change to use the ES part number.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your help man, Really appreciated :)

Hi Dave,

I very new in using tcl console.

I am trying to run the synthesis script but every time I receive an error

These are the steps that I carried out:

1- I have put the four files (s2_dsp,hex_display,synth,pinout) together in one folder and called it s2_dsp

2- Created a Quartus project with name "s2_dsp"

3- In the tcl console I wrote tcl> source synth.tcl

Am I missing any steps ?

This is the ERROR that I receive each time:

source synth.tcl

Synthesizing the S2-DSP 'basic' design

--------------------------------------

- Creating the Quartus work directory

- Creating the VHDL files list

Error:ERROR: Can't open project: s2_dsp

The zip file has a readme.txt that explains what you were supposed to do.

You did not need to create a Quartus project. The script does everything. Here's what you were supposed to do:

Stratix II DSP Development Kit 'basic' Design
---------------------------------------------
4/17/2014 D. W. Hawkins (dwh@ovro.caltech.edu)
A user on the Altera Forum asked about the pinout for this
board. I created this stripped down 'basic' design from
my code repo. The design was synthesis tested using
Quartus 12.1sp1 subscription edition.
There is no SDC file for this project, so Quartus generates
a warning.
To synthesize the design;
1. Unzip this file 
   eg., c:/temp/s2_dsp_basic
   
2. Start Quartus and select the Tcl console
   (make it visible with View->Utility Windows->Tcl Console)
   
3. Run the synthesis script
   tcl> cd c:/temp/s2_dsp_basic
   tcl> source scripts/synth.tcl
   
   Synthesizing the S2-DSP 'basic' design
   --------------------------------------
    - Creating the Quartus work directory
    - Creating the VHDL files list
    - Applying constraints
    - Processing the design
    - Processing completed
   
NOTE: The earlier version of this kit shipped with "ES"
devices (engineering samples). The synth.tcl script 
assumes you have a production device (non-ES) .Edit that
script if you have an ES board.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Sorry, it might be a silly question from me but how can I access the synthesis file without showing Quartus software the right directory.

because if I just follow the steps in the readme.txt file I will get this error and I don't know how to reach the correct directory in Quartus software

source scripts/synth.tcl

Error:couldn't read file "scripts/synth.tcl": no such file or directory

Error: while executing

Error:"_source scripts/synth.tcl"

Error: ("uplevel" body line 1)

Error: invoked from within

Error:"uplevel 1 $cmd "

Error: (procedure "source" line 5)

Error: invoked from within

Error:"source scripts/synth.tcl"

Thanks,

Mourad

Sorry, my bad, I did not include one instruction - change directory using the Tcl console. See the readme.txt inlined above.

Please download the zip file again, I modified the synth.tcl script slightly to work properly under 13.0sp1 (the last version that supports Stratix II devices).

Cheers,

Dave
