2 Software tools
2.1 Important downloads
Each KNJN FPGA board is provided with a “startup-kit” that includes the board documentation and other files (mainly
example source code). The startup-kit doesn't include some important software tools that are required as you experiment
with your FPGA board:
● The FPGA software
● A C/C++ compiler
2.2 FPGA software
The FPGA software is required to generate FPGA bitfiles. You have to get the software that matches your FPGA.
Board Software
Pluto Quartus II Web Edition 9.0 SP2
Pluto-II Quartus II Web Edition 11.0 SP1
Pluto-IIx ISE W eb PACK
Pluto-IIx HDMI ISE W eb PACK
Pluto-3 Quartus II Web Edition 13.0
These software are free, don't require a license and don't expire. They are big so you might want to download and install
them in advance.
2.3 C/C++ compiler
A C/C++ compiler is optional but you'll need one for many projects. Here are different compilers that can be used:
● Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0
● Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 express edition or Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop (free downloads)
● Digital Mars (free download)
● Jacob Navia's lcc-win32 (free download)
