okie.. im aware the next few lines are gonna be very silly, but i really have no idea how to go about this board Altera DE2 and the NIOS 2. I am to use the board for a real time monitoring application for human motion, this is for my Final Year Project. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif  

 

I have already installed all softwares that came along with the box, but i still cant seem to get acess into the programin console, i have already powered up the board and seen fancy light n display flashing, but thats bout all i have managed to come up with so far http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif  

 

Any form of help or recommendation pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

You should been provided for tutorials and demonstrations. 

That&#39;s a very good starting point to understand the whole thing. 

 

You definetly want to get the DE2_System CD, see http://www.altera.com/education/univ/mater...-de2-board.html (http://www.altera.com/education/univ/materials/boards/unv-de2-board.html
