question related to DE4

Hi all,

I wanna use DE4 board, but I have no idea which version of Quartus software is appropriate(Quartus 9.0 or Quartus 11.0)? Thanks.

    Yes.

    Behavioral simulation (aka RTL simulation in Quartus) simulates the VHDL or Verilog code as you have written it.

    Gate level simulation simulates a model of what the synthesis tools produced.

    One difference is that the "gate level model" includes delays.

    But the are also a few caveats that may make the behavior different.
