Does anyone knows how to program the FPGA on Arduino Vidor 4000?

Hi,

I know this question may be asked on Arduino Forum but it could be that someone on elment14 have tried Arduino Vidor 400 and proramed it using the instructions provided on getting started guide for Vidor 4000

https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/mkr-vidor-4000/vidor-gsvhdl/

The issue here is that I need more information on the tool used to flash the board. I have compiled the FPGA sample program on Quartus IDE and now want to upload the converted file using the tool mentioned for flashing the board.

There are a fair number of projects in this blog that use the Vidor 4000 community.element14.com/.../blog

Yes, there are and I tried to search on the internet as well to get the answer on exactly, how to flash the board with FPGA code compiled using the tool that is mentioned in the documentation.

There are some projects that have done this, but the instructions are missing or needs clear explanation.

Actually, the tool is used to convert the .ttf file in the .h file so that it can be included in Arduino code.

Sorry, for me not giving positive feedback on Arduino FPGA.

In case it helps at all, this is what I did for a first project, but I think that was based on the Arduino documentation and the code it links to, so presumably you've got that far anyway.

I didn't understand the 'nuts and bolts' of it, but it did work and get me an FPGA functioning with my VHDL.
