VEEK-MT Demonstrations
This chapter gives detailed description of the provided bundles of exclusive demonstrations
implemented on VEEK-MT. These demonstrations are particularly designed (or ported) for
VEEK-MT, with the goal of showing the potential capabilities of the kit and showcase the unique
benefits of FPGA-based SOPC systems such as reducing BOM costs by integrating powerful
graphics and video processing circuits within the FPGA.
4.1 System Requirements
To run and recompile the demonstrations, you should:
 Install Altera Quartus II 13.1 and NIOS II EDS 13.1 or later edition on the host computer.
Users need to download Quartus II 13.1 from Altera's website.
 Install the USB-Blaster driver software. You can find instructions in the tutorial “Getting
Started with Altera’s DE2-115 Board” (tut_initialDE2-115.pdf) which is available on the
DE2-115 system CD
 Copy the entire demonstrations folder from the VEEK-MT system CD to your host computer
4.2 Factory Configuration
The VEEK-MT development kit comes preconfigured with a default utility that boots up on power
on and allows users to quickly select, load, and run different Ready-to-Run demonstrations stored
on an SD Card using the VEEK-MT touch panel. Figure 4-1 gives a snapshot of the default
application selector interface (Note*). Every demonstration consists of an FPGA hardware image
and an application software image. When you select a demonstration the application selector copies
the hardware image to EPCS device and software image to flash memory and reconfigures the
FPGA with your selection. For more comprehensive information of the application selector factory
configuration, please refer to chapter 5.
