DE0-Nano

FPGA Development and Education Board

Status

  • got DE0-NANO-G-Sensor installed and working
  • Control Panel code loads but there doesn't seem to be a Linux interface to it. Wine reports trouble communicating to the board

Observations

  • Use Windows if you have the choice. It appears much of the GUI functionality is not supported in Linux
  • It appears that Wine is running underneath the Linux port

Installation in Bodhi Linux 2.4 (Ubuntu 12.04 derivative) 32 bit

Getting Help

  • To get the help menu of quartus II to work, use Firefox and make sure Flash is installed.
    • The tutorials are automatically loading in FF...not sure why. Perhaps there is a default set in my window manager of which I am unaware
    • Tried with direct load in Chromium to local file link --- endless loop
