1.5. Reference Design Files

The reference design comes with a ZIP file that includes a Quartus II archive file (.qar) that contains:

  • Quartus II project files
  • source files
  • Qsys projects
  • ancillary files
  • system libraries

The ZIP file also contains the software C code that you can use to compile and download into the Nios II processor control unit. When restoring the archive file in the Quartus II software, create a destination folder and name it jesd204b_ed to store all the reference design files.

Table 6.  Reference Design FilesThis table lists the important folders and files that you may need to edit to customize the design.
