Altera_FPGA_Projects

This repository contains demo projects for those who are interested in getting started with FPGA development. The EP4CE6E22C8N FPGA board is a major requirement for running and testing the projects in this repository. Nearly all custom RTL designs (over 95%) in this repository were developed from scratch using VHDL, and all projects strictly comply with the Synchronous Design Methodology. The projects have been tested on Windows 10/11, Ubuntu 25.04, 25.10, and 26.04.

8. PS/2 keyboard
9. STM32 Blue Pill board or any MCU with UART, SPI, and USB peripherals
10. CH340 USB-TTL converter

Optional components

Here's a list of components that I used for additional verification of my RTL designs beyond testbenches.

1. Saleae 24MHz, 8 Channel USB logic analyzer
2. Zeeweii DSO3D12 oscilloscope + multimeter + signal generator (3 in 1)
3. DSO150 handheld oscilloscope

Important software

1. Intel Quartus (Quartus Prime 20.1)
2. ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition vsim 2020.1 (Quartus Prime 20.1)
3. STM32CubeIDE (if you have an STM32 microcontroller)
4. Python (v3.7 upwards)
