Project files and Quartus startup
Added by Eric Nelson over 1 year ago
I'm just getting started with a MitySOM-5CSX and
First off, this page says "launch quartus", and I'm not sure how.
https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mityarm-5cs/wiki/System_Design_Overview
In my ~/intelFPGA tree, I have quartus_pgmw and quartus_stpw executables that start GUIs, but neither seems to have a QSYS option under "Tools".
Also, is there a MitySOM-5CSX reference project? The wiki page above says <<link to file>>.

I found the answer to the second question on this page:
https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mityarm-5cs/wiki/Building_fpga_181
The reference projects are in this Git repository:

I'm also answering my first question (how to launch Quartus).
The executable name is quartus, and it seems that I don't have a proper installation. I followed instructions on Intel's site and seem to have a broken version 20.1.
In the "Building the FPGA" page here:
https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mityarm-5cs/wiki/Building_fpga_181
The "make quartus_edit" command tries to execute "quartus", which isn't found on my system.
This page on Intel's site confirms the name of quartus and the typical installation directory.

I'm downloading version 18.1 from here now.

Eric,

This should be the build instructions for the project. Make sure to run the Intel Embedded Command Shell script to source the tools. This sets up the paths so it can find the quartus binary, etc.
Let us know if you're still having issues trying to build the reference design.

Thanks Mike.
That page filled in a couple of knowledge gaps for me.
I'm still struggling to find out where to get Quartus though.
Can you point me in the right direction?
I tried but was unsuccessful in getting the virtualbox image to run.

Eric,
Here is the link to the tools. Once you select the edition/platform that is applicable to you, you can change the version at the top to download older versions if you'd like. The latest version "should" work fine with the reference project. But you can switch it to 18.1 if you'd like to be consistent with our instructions.
Once the tools are installed, you should be able to follow the instructions here: https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mityarm-5cs/wiki/Building_fpga_181 to actually compile the reference design.
