Hi,

Question:

"Is there any way I can learn HLS for free?"

Answer:

You can learn through training course provided by Intel with link below:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/training/catalog.html?courseType=Online

Question:

"Is for Pro version, I will be needing a paid licence. And light version doesn't contain any HLS option."

Answer:

Based on my understanding, there is more feature and option build for HLS compiler pro edition compare to HLS compiler lite edition.

Thanks

I couldn't find any HLS compilers Lite version so far. I am trying, may be I could find. As I downloaded Lite version of Quartus, and that doesn't included HLS compiler. But may be there is some separate support is provided for Lite version users.

    You can probably install Quartus Prime Standard or Pro and play around with the HLS compiler since, as far as I know, the C/C++ to HDL compilation does not need a license. You should also be able to run simulations without a license. However, to place and route the HDL into a bitstream and run on an actual FPGA, you are going to need a license.
