Porting U500-freedom to Altera FPGA (TR4 Board, SoCKit Board)

This repository consist of:

1. Quartus Prime cleaned tempalte projects for u500-freedom on TR4 and SoCKit Boards.
2. Modified common.mk, it can automatically modify the u500-freedom-vc707 generated verilog code to be compatible with previous Quartus Prime tempalte projects.
3. Guide Document that has detailed explaination for porting manually.

Quick instruction:

1. Follow this repo and generate the u500-freedom-vc707 verilog and mcs files.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Replace the common.mk in the "freedom" directory with new one from this repository.
4. Run "make" with the "altera_TR4" target. It will copy and make some needed modification to the generated files from step 1 and put them in "freedom/builds/altera_TR4_board" folder.
5. Copy and add files in "freedom/builds/altera_TR4_board" folder to Quartus Prime Project.
6. Do Full Compile Design in Quartus Prime project, then program the board and test as usual (as in u500-freedom vc707 prj).
