Hi,
Since you're a beginner, I'm sure you need to find definitions to gauge what you're dealing with. I suggest using the built-in help tool on your Quartus software.
This online training provides the foundation of designing projects on Quartus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=bwoyQ_RnaiA&ab_channel=IntelFPGA
This online training provides an overview of Quartus Standard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Ah6XQUHTumo&ab_channel=IntelFPGA
You can also refer to this user guide: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug-qps-getting-started.pdf?wapkw=quartus%20standard%20user%20guide
With regards to the 74xx chip error, can you expand on how you did this? You added the 74xx chip into the bdf file, then creating a bsf file, then you got the error? Or did you have to compile the design first?

Hi Nurina,
Just to clarify, i'm not exactly a beginner to CPLD/FPGA as i've been using Altera Max+ II since 1990's.
My problem these days is that the Intel prime documents/guides don't seem to have a lot of "how to" content in them. The guides basically show me how to open a file or how to access the text or block editor etc, but the guides never really go into depth about how to use the functions correctly.
When i use the built-in help system (or download user guides), i often search for something like 'wire' or 'bus' and i see no results. So, i'm really puzzled how do people learn exactly how to use the features correctly.
Thge youtube videos aren't much better than the PDF's, they mention all the things that Prime can do, but they don't go into exact detail how to do simple things like placing wires and buses or all of the possibilities and settings for those functions.
