    Common issues / Lab updates

    The DE-10 Standard board has a "kill-switch", which is the big red button next to the power plug. This needs to be in the "down" position for the board to have power.

    When setting up the USB-Blaster driver (step 13 of the prelab steps), you may see either USB-Blaster or EthernetBlaster. After adding the device, as long as the hardware for selection is now shown as "DE-SoC" then it should function correctly.

    A Few Words

    Quartus and modelSim are installed on all of the computers in Klaus 1446. If you have trouble getting the programs to work on your own machine you can utilize these. These computers have both Quartus Prime (19.1) and Quartus Prime (20.1) installed on them.

    Questions always come up so please plan to make ample and early use of TA office hours!
