FULL ADDER


Right click on this code and save it to the desktop: ADDER-Project. Unzip the file and save it to the desktop.

Double click on Quartus II. If it gives you a license error, quit out of the program and try again, it will work eventually.

Go to File->open project. Find your folder on the desktop, it should be named ce1, and choose the file adder.qpf in it.

You should now have an open project, double click on adder in the left panel. This will open your main schematic. Double click on the symbol fulladder. Enter your full adder logic!

When you are done, with the file still open, go to File->Create/Update->Create symbol files for current file. When asked if you want to overwrite the symbol, click yes, then OK. Go back to your top level schematic, righ click on the schematic and choose "Update symbol or block." Make sure "All symbols or blocks in the file" is chosen, then click OK.

You are now ready to test your design!

To compile:
Processing->Compiler Tool. click Start. If you have no errors, continue, else there might be something wrong with your logic.

Before you download your code to the board:

  • plug the board in!
  • you need to make sure the little black jumpers are all on the top row.
  • wire up the switches! The switches on the left are SW1 and the switches on the right are SW2. You will be hooking up the higher four bits of each using these pins.

    To Download:
    Tools->programer. Make sure the first white box says ByteBlasterII next to hardware setup. Click the program and Configure box and then click start.

    The switches are 0 when they are down, and 1 when they are up.
