my problem is same. When i try to read DE1_USB_API project i see these line

assign mVIN_R = mVGA_ADDR[0] ? mSRAM_VGA_DATA[15:8]<<2 : mSRAM_VGA_DATA[7:0]<<2 ;

assign mVIN_G = mVGA_ADDR[0] ? mSRAM_VGA_DATA[15:8]<<2 : mSRAM_VGA_DATA[7:0]<<2 ;

assign mVIN_B = mVGA_ADDR[0] ? mSRAM_VGA_DATA[15:8]<<2 : mSRAM_VGA_DATA[7:0]<<2 ;

i don't understand that code "<<2"

because vga data only take 4 MSB bit

assign VGA_R = oVGA_R[9:6];

assign VGA_G = oVGA_G[9:6];

assign VGA_B = oVGA_B[9:6];

please help me. thanks in advance
