Simulation of Altera DE2-115 Education Board

[richardson1959]

I've begun a project in which I'm using Digital to simulate some of the basic components of the Altera DE2-115 Education and Development board. I've only got the slide switches, push-button switches and 7-segment displays simulated so far, but these are all of the components that we use in an Intro to Digital Logic course that I am currently teaching. I've laid out the components to look as much like the actual Altera board as I possibly can (see the image below).

We use Quartus for schematic capture for the Altera boards. Of course schematic files aren't directly transferrable between Digital and Quartus but designs are essentially the same. You can export a Digital design to Verilog, import the Verilog into Quartus and then download and run the design on the Altera board (without alteration). This only takes a few seconds.

If anyone is interested in playing around with this, you can download the current version from the following link:

Here is a more interesting example. I've added a clock to support sequential circuits. You can still export to verilog to run on the board.

can you show your design? i need it, thanks
and do you have DE 2 KIT simulation ? I am student and i don't have it so i need a simulation. Thank you very much

Very interesting. Could i ask if you would care to make it available on github ?

It is available via the link in the original post. Unfortunately, I haven't done anything with it in over 3 years.

Tôi cũng đã cài phần mềm và thực hiện các thao tác giống như bác đã dạy. Nhưng hiện tại tôi chưa nạp bản thiết kế trên quartus của tôi vào KIT DE 2 - 155 được. Mong sự giúp đỡ từ bác. Vào 17:17 T.5, 3 Th4, 2025 Lý Hoàng Em ***@***.***> đã viết:
