We bought a Stratix II GX development board. Now I want to programming with Visual Basic for communication with this board, and do some parameters configuration with VB User Interface. How can I do that? Could you please give me a hand for this? Thanks!

I'm not sure if you can find for VB, but there are lib for C/C++ or DLL for FTDI. 

FTDI is the chip that USB Blaster is using. 

If you can understand how to use USB blaster over the DLLs, you will have pretty much full access to FPGA. 

 

Or you can find API document for JAVA on the NIOS wiki.

Thanks a lot for your reply! 

 

I think there should be a DLL link to FPGA, but I don't know how to get it. 

Altera has designed a User Interface for demonstration, it seems that it is designed with .net framwork. Also I need to build a User Interface for communication with FPGA and configure some parameter. 

 

More help would be appreciated!!!
