Continue through the installation and when you get to the last page be sure to have the option checked to install the USB blaster II driver which will launch the driver installation wizard. When you get to the 'Select Components' page you should see that 'Cyclone V' is an option and has been checked (I downloaded the 'Cyclone V device support' file to the same directory as the main download file). Select version 16.0 and click on 'lite edition' by the download icon and you will be taken to another page 'Quartus Prime Lite Edition' (since Intel acquired Altera the software is now called 'Quartus Prime').Р”Р„s to minimize download size I clicked on 'Individual Files tab' and downloaded 'Quartus Prime (includes Nios II EDS)' then 'Cyclone V device support'.Р”Р„fter the files have been downloaded run the 'QuartusLiteSetup-16.0.0.211-windows.exe' file and as you progress through the setup it's best to keep with the default installation directory.

Note that you need to be registered to Intel's site to download files but registration is free (at the time of writing this article). Since you need Quartus II to program the DE1-SoC I downloaded the recommended version, V16.0, and opted for the lite edition as it's the free version which has less device support. With a speaker connected to the line-out jack and the KEY is pressed, a 1 kHz humming sound will be heard. You may want to check out the resources section on this page for more information. If you are new to FPGAs you may want to start with a simpler board such as one that features an older Cyclone. Please note that the DE1-SoC is probably not suited to absolute beginners to FPGAs due to its complexity. Useful links accessible on the page include specifications (overview), layout (the various connectors, etc.), and resources (manuals, software, etc.). With its on-board USB Blaster II for programming, the DE1-SoC can be programmed using a PC running 64-bit Windows XP or later along with Quartus II.Р”Р‡or the product page of the DE1-SoC please follow this link: The board has a wide range of inputs and outputs, from audio to video to networking as well as GPIO. It features an Altera SoC (System-on-Chip) Cyclone V SE (5CSEMA5F31C6N) FPGA with integrated Cortex-A9 ARM 32-bit dual-core processor running at 800MHz.

The DE1-SoC is a development board from terasIC from around 2013 that was part of the Intel FPGA university program.
