major files which include top-level design file (.v) and Quartus II setting file (.qsf).

The top-level design file contains top-level verilog HDL wrapper for users to add their own

design/logic. The Quartus II setting file contains information such as FPGA device type, top-level

pin assignment, and I/O standard for each user-defined I/O pin.

Finally, Quartus II programmer must be used to download SOF file to DE2-115 board using JTAG

interface.
