problems working through Using tse on DE2-115 boards from May 2015

Hi,

The tutorial "Using Triple-Speed Ethernet on DE2-115 Boards seems not up to date although it says that it is for Quartus II 15.0 and is dated May2015:

- Page 13, section 3.2 point 2&3 - there is no ALTPLL but Avaon ALTPLL and Qsys does not ask for a filename to save the IP variation

- Page 16 the summary tab does not exist, and more importantly there is no "Basic Functions > I/O" hence also no ALTDDIO_OUT - at least not on my Quartus II 15.0 web edition.

Thank you in advance for responding.

    You might want to file a service request to Altera to get them update the tutorial.

    Hi,

    Just to close this, it was my mistake that I was looking in the IP Catalog of Qsys instead of Quartus II. And the document says:

    "Besides the subsystem built using Qsys, you need a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) module to generate clocks with

    different frequencies to make the Triple-Speed Ethernet system work properly. The PLL will take a 50 MHz input

    clock, and output the desired clocks. To add the PLL block, perform the following:"

    Redirecting the reader (such as me :) ) back to Quartus would be useful in this document. Because both Qsys and Quartus have the IP Catalog window.

    I feel stupid.
