Hello All,
This is my first time using an FPGA, my independent research is currently using the book "RTL Hardware Design Using VHDL" by Pong Chu.
I have purchased an Altera Cyclone IV with a EP4CE10F17C8N chip. I am programming using Quartis Prime Lite, in VHDL. I am programing the board with a USB Blaster, all drivers installed.
My aim was to test a simple code by turning on an on-board LED. I do not see anything wrong with the VHDL Code and I have no compilation error, yet I do not see any LED turned on (aside from the power LED). This leads me to belive it may be the pin assignment.
I am using the following data sheet:

https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/c/c8/coreep4ce10-schematic.pdf)
And assigned LED to PIN_D12
My Code is as follows:
library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;
ENTITY light IS
PORT(--X1 : IN STD_LOGIC;
LED : OUT STD_LOGIC := '0'
);
END light;
ARCHITECTURE LogicFunction OF light IS
BEGIN
LED <= '1';
END LogicFunction;
I am not sure why I can not light the LED, any help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
