    Study Notes

    Logisim Evolution Synthesis and Download

    • A tutorial outlines synthesizing and downloading code to a board using Logisim Evolution.
    • The example project features two parallel hardware blocks: an LED blinking with a clock signal, and a 4-bit counter displayed on a 7-segment display.
    • The counter has three inputs: a clock signal (for incrementing), an Inc/Dec bit (for increment/decrement), and a reset bit.
    • Logisim Evolution's LED and clock modules are FPGA-supported, ensuring compatibility with synthesis.
    • The 4-bit counter uses the counter module (Memory folder), also FPGA-supported.
    • A TTL 7447 BCD to 7-segment decoder converts the counter's binary output for display, requiring output inversion.
    • Simulation details are omitted; users are advised to test circuit behavior by pressing buttons and using Ctrl+K to enable/disable the clock.
    • Synthesis and Download involves selecting the target board (e.g., DE10LITE) in the FPGA menu.
    • The "Settings" button configures software and FPGA Commander Settings, with external board details covered in part 3 of the tutorial.
    • The "Execute" button initiates synthesis and download, prompting pin mapping to physical board components (switches, buttons, LEDs, 7-segment displays).
    • Quartus software handles synthesis, generating a bit file. This process can be time-consuming.
    • The final step involves downloading the bitstream to the FPGA after synthesis is complete, if a board is connected and the schematic is error-free.
