11 years agoI downloaded an Altera Quartus Version 13.0 SP1 after purchasing a Cyclone II Development Board, which I have great enthusiasm for learning FPGA Programming. I am going through the tutorial and encountered the same issues as others have posted here years earlier - and to no resolution from Altera.
I have to say that I am greatly disappointed that Altera would release a tutorial that is incomplete at best, broken which is more realistic to most reading this. The purpose of a tutorial is to walk us through the process of how to create a simple project; not to leave us stranded on a broken road to nowhere. For the amount of money I paid for my development board, I should expect tutorials to be in working order and complete if Altera would like to keep their customers happy and to improve their FPGA skills. Xilinx is another FPGA manufacturer. Is the message from Altera to tell us new customers that they want us to move on to another manufactuerer?
