This FPGA design tool allows end users to generate fully featured FPGA designs that can be downloaded to the Gx3500 board using the Marvin Test Solutions GXFPGA software API or software front panel. Other 3rd party tools can also be used to design the FPGA. Before proceeding with this tutorial, you must have Altera Quartus II installed on your PC.
