14 years agoMegaWizard display problems in Ubuntu Linux
Hello,
I am using "Quartus II Version 11.0 Build 157 04/27/2011 SJ Web Edition" on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and am working on my very first FPGA project. I have successfully made some blinking lights on a DE-Nano board from terasic so programming is working and I can write some basic verilog. However I am having trouble with the "MegaWizard Plug-In Manager" -- after a few screens it does not display any more information. Let me give an example where this problem comes up: 1) Start the MegaWizard from the "Tools" menu with my current project open. I see a window with a little wand and wizard hat. 2) I choose to create a new MegaFunction and press "Next". 3) I choose IO/ALTPLL from the list, give a filename "AlteraPLL.v", choose Verilog, and press "Next". (The device was correct by default). 4) Now the screen is more graphical in nature and at the top it says [3 of 14]. I leave all the settings in their default state (100MHz, Normal Mode, etc.) and press next. 5) Now the screen remains EXACTLY the same except the bar at the top reads [4 of 14]. It is still on Parameter Settings -> General/Modes with exactly the same widgets as before. Pressing next repeatedly increases the top of the window display to [14 of 14] eventually but there is NEVER any new place to put information. I seriously doubt this is the intended behaviour. What is going wrong? When running quartus II from the command prompt I see that it does not print any data to stdout. Please Help!
