Tutorial

1. Initialise FPGA

Goto Golden_Top folder and open DE10_LITE_Golden_Top.qpf file
Goto Quartus -> Tools -> Programmer -> Add file...
Open DE10_LITE_Golden_Top.sof
Click Start

2. Create JTAG_UART connection between main.py script and DE10-Lite

# Open NIOS II command shell
& '<path>\intelFPGA_lite\18.1\nios2eds\Nios II Command Shell.bat'
# Locate the folder
cd <path>/Golden_Top/software/cw
# Download .elf project 
nios2-download -g cw.elf

run main.py

3. Set Up server

Set up AWS server (refer to https://github.com/Aaron-Zhao123/ELEC50009/blob/main/lab5/lab5.pdf)
# Open server file
