13 years agoDownload vhdl code into fpga board Problem
Hi all,
I get stuck here. I try to download a vhdl code into fpga board using Tools>Programmer. After I click the Programmer, I get the warning box as attached. Then, the .sof file created is scanner_time_limited.sof not as I want which is scanner.sof. What mean by the warning box? Need helps from expert/familiar with this problem..thank you.4 Replies

This happens because your design includes an IP core used in OpenCore evaluation mode, namely without buying a license.
The core will fully work until you keep the programmer attached, whereas it will stop functioning if you press the Ok button and close that message box. - Altera_Forum

I used Quartus II Web Edition, what should I do to avoid this warning besides buying a license? Thanks for response - Altera_Forum

This won't affect your code at all, neither the functionality of the unlicensed core.
It simply prevents you from deploying the design on a commercial board, since you need the programmer to remain connected. You can't get rid of that message, unless you buy the licence, - Altera_Forum
