To create a new design file, we go to file menu and select вЂNewвЂ™ which will openthe вЂNew FileвЂ™ Dialog box as shown in Figure7.Figure7. We will use Block Diagram/Schematic File based design method throughout thecourse. Once we are done creating the project space, we now need to create design files for theproject. Screen5 of the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™Figure6. Screen4 of the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™ДЇigure5. Screen3 of the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™Figure4. For our case, default list will suffice.Screen5 is shown in Figure5.Finally Screen6 tells us that the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™ is finished and the new projectwith the shown settings is created. This step is shown inFigure4.Screen 5 of the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™ asks us to specify a list of devices so that thecompiler can select one of them as the target device. For all projects inECE 465, we will let the compiler select the appropriate device. Screen3 is shown infigure 3.Screen4 of the wizard asks us the target device family for our project. Since there are no such toolsin our case, we will simply skip this process ob clicking вЂnextвЂ™.

Screen3 basically asks if there are other toolsapart from Quartus II that we plan to use during the project. Screen2 of the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™ Dialog boxQuartus allows users familiar with other PLD tools to integrate their designs in thosetools with Quartus II generated projects.

The screen 2 is shown in figure2.ДЇigure2. Since we donвЂ™t have any such file to add, we will simply click next button toskip this step. First screen of the вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™ dialog boxThe second screen asks us to add files to the project that we may have designed inadvance. We will have to fill all these fields with the relevant information. The first screen asks us to provide names of the workingdirectory of the project, name of the project and name of the top level entity in theproject. This will open вЂNewProject WizardвЂ™ dialog box.

The steps in creating anew project are as follows.After we have successfully installed Quartus II and set up the license, we load thesoftware, go to the file menu and select вЂNew Project WizardвЂ™.

For ease inunderstanding, I will go through each and every step in designing a simple digital circuit,a 2 to 4 decoder, with accompanying figures illustrating the step.
