Thanks for posting, this can be a fun and excellent entry level project for newcomers to embedded system.
Having said that, I believe that the DE1 board being used in the project is not the same as DE1 board being used in the excellent book by Prof Hamblen of Georgia Tech [1]. I'd highly recommend this book if you're starting out but the tools and the software are outdated because it is already more than a decade old.
The manufacturer of Altera embedded system boards Terasic, bizarrely decided that they wanted to re-use and retain the DE1 name although there are already DE1 and DE2 boards produced by them before this new DE1 board.

The board used in this project is the DE1-SoC, which is not the same as the DE1, you're right. They have different names, so I'm not sure where the confusion comes from. they definitely could have named it better, however.
We could probably go probably go deeper into this. ;-)
Deep learned vs shallow learned something something.
But I understand what you are saying. cheers!

I think you are sure you know where the confusion comes from. You admitted it in your last phrase?
"lightbulb" and "lightning" both start with the same 5 letters, and no one confuses those.
I just think, in general, people could be better at naming things.
