How to Use VHDL Examples

Altera provides VHDL design examples as downloadable executable files or as text in your web browser. Click the executable file link to download the file to your hard disk. To use VHDL examples displayed as text in your Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II software, copy and paste the text from your web browser into the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II software Text Editor. Make sure that the file name of the VHDL design file (.vhd) corresponds to the entity name in the example. For instance, if the entity name is myram, you should save the file as myram.vhd.
