Announcements
Starting with Quartus II® version 13.0, the Waveform Editor tool for performing simulations can be opened from within the Quartus II software. This is accomplished by selecting “File -> New -> University Program VWF”. Test vectors created with this tool can be used in simulation of your circuits by running the ModelSim-Altera simulation tool. The simulator can be started from within the Waveform Editor, or by using the Altera® Nativelink flow. For more information, read the simulation tutorial which is found on the Quartus II Simulator page.
Altera® grants educational institutions easy access to today's leading design software and industry-standard EDA tools.
Altera's University Program offers a variety of commercial-grade CAD software for use with Altera's Development and Education boards. It includes:
- Quartus® II Software
- Quartus® II Simulator
- Nios® II Embedded Design Suite
- Altera Monitor Program
- ModelSim Simulation Software
- DSP Builder Toolkit
To download this software click here. To obtain a license for the software, visit the Altera University Program software licensing page and follow the instructions.
