How do I display board (DE10-LITE) content on the screen?

Hi After completing the Programmer for the code in the board that I am using, how can I display the content of the code on an external screen? I used a vga cable between the port and a side screen?...

You do know that the VGA connector on that board is just a simple connector attached to the FPGA pins via D/A resistor ladders.

There is no inherent VGA display capability UNLESS you implement a VGA video generator function in your FPGA logic.

For reference, the TerASIC system CD "DE10-Lite_v.2.1.0_SystemCD" for that board has a VGA demonstration application in
the Demonstrations / VGA_Pattern folder. You should look at that.

The TeraASIC support CD ISO image is available for download here:

in case you don't already have it.
