[Cryptech Tech] How to start using coretest_hashes on the TerasIC C5G Board

[Randy Bush]

[ klutzich end abuser report ]

for the moment, i mounted the macosx test_coretest_hashes directory in
win7-64

VCP or D2XX?  i guessed d2xx, installed, and restarted win7

it shows the .v on win7.

             ^cores/

i know it's in the alteraware, but this desperately needs a search
function

i think you mean test_coretest_hashes/cores/coretest_hashes/toolruns/quartus/terasic_c5g

the pin assignments were already in the file

actually, for me, it was Assignments / ImportAssignments

ok, the power connector is pretty obvious.  but maybe you should give
more of a hint about "connect the board to the computer."

i connected a usb cable to the usb blaster port of the board.  i said
connect it to windows.

and i do not see it.  the blinking lights on the board are beautiful but
i am stalled here
