Introduction
The example designs and tutorials included in the Stratix III Development Kit help
familiarize new users with development board features. My First FPGA Tutorial and
My First Nios II Software Tutorial provide step-by-step guidance for the first-time user.
My First FPGA Tutorial
My First FPGA Tutorial describes how to create a simple Altera FPGA design. The
tutorial takes less than an hour to complete and provides an overview of the design
flow using Quartus II software to build a simple logic counter which drives LEDs to
flash on the development board.

My First Nios II Software Tutorial
My First Nios II Tutorial introduces the basic system development flow for the Nios II
processor. This tutorial provides a good starting point if you are new to the Nios II
processor or to the general concept of using an embedded processor in an FPGA. In
this tutorial, you use a standard, existing Nios II hardware system and create a
software program to run on it.
