Hi Michele,

I wrote a simple top-level design for the DE1 and posted in this thread:

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35687

Download de1_basic.zip, unzip it, (delete the qwork folder), and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file. Then look at the VHDL code.

Try to change the code so that the switches control one of the 7-segment displays ... start with displaying hexadecimal, and then move onto BCD (which is what your question above indicates you want).

I'd tell you how, but then you would not learn, so see if you can figure out what to do, and if you have trouble, post a question.

Cheers,

Dave
