5. Ready-to-Run Applications
About Ready-to-
Run applications Ready-to-Run demo applications provide a quick and easy way to
evaluate full processor systems built for automotive, industrial and
consumer applications. Many of the ready-to-run demos shipped with
this kit have been provided by Altera’s partners. You can use the
application selector to select and load the demonstration of choice. New
demos or applications that you have created can be easily made "ready-
to-run" for quick select and load via the LCD Color Touch Panel.
Ready-to-Run demo applications are provided in binary format only
(.FLASH). Full Quartus II projects, source code, IP licensing etc. can be
obtained by contacting the provider of the Ready-to-Run demo. You will
find these demos on your SD Card, but new Ready-to-Run demos can
also be downloaded from
www.altera.com/esdk . Simply download the
demo from the above web-site and copy it to your SD Card. For details
see the section
“How to update your SD Card with Ready-to-Run
Applications” on page 5–2 .
The partial list of Ready-to-Run demonstration applications is shown in
the table below.
