Problems with "My first FPGA tutorial"

Hiya, I am quite new to FPGA's and VHDL aswell, and unfortunately don't have an answer to your question.

My Quartus II 10.0 SP1 web edition doesn't have the lpm_mux in the the megawizard library either, by the looks of it there may be a library containing more megafunctions that needs to be downloaded and installed...

One thing I will say that I have found from my own experience that it is better to create your designs using VHDL code rather than using the block diagram files..... some people may disagree but I found it best to use the megawizard to instantiate more complicated things such as PLLs etc, but I tended to have less problems and a better understanding of what I was doing when the majority of the design I was in VHDL that I had written rather than trying to use the schematic editor...

Sorry if my post is not that helpful... but i thought i'd share my own experience...

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as sampei with the pin planner. After "analysis and elaboration" has been run without any error, clicking on pin planner opens the pin planner window but no I/O pins are displayed. Any ideas? Thanks.

HI,

I had the same problem with the tutorial.And the only solution for it is to create your own block by writing a simple VHDL code for mux and use it in the design.Remeber not to use the name lpm_mux else the complier will not accept it.Use any other name.

It worked for me.
