## The Vidor 4000 and Verilog

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to program the Intel Cyclone 10 FPGA on the Vidor board. Arduino announced a graphical tool that lets you combine pre-defined Verilog IP-blocks to build a larger FPGA project, but this tool has not yet been released. Luckily, there is a way for experienced users to utilize Verilog to configure the FPGA. To do this, you'll need the Arduino IDE, [Intel Quartus Prime 18.1](https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/18.1/?edition=lite&platform=windows) (or newer), and a tool that converts the compiled files for the FPGA.

The official program is available in this [Vidor 4000 repository on GitHub](https://github.com/vidor-libraries/VidorBitstream/tree/release/TOOLS/makeCompositeBinary). However, I used an [alternative VidorFPGA version](https://github.com/wd5gnr/VidorFPGA) as well as the accompanying Verilog project I'll use throughout this article.
