14 years ago --- Quote Start --- What was the problem you saw? --- Quote End --- You can see the problem I have during the process of generating HDL files for the Qsys system in the attached file. The generation hangs for ever with the last msg as "Info: Starting classic module elaboration." --- Quote Start --- If you think its a problem with Windows Server 2008, download VirtualBox, install Windows or Linux into that, and then install the Quartus tool there. --- Quote End --- I tried Virtual Machine before, but there is an issue with licensing as Altera does not support the virtual NIC address. Do you know if the license works with Quartus installed in a VirtualBox?. --- Quote Start --- Note that Windows Server 2008 is not a supported OS: If you're serious about FPGA design, then you should install a supported OS. --- Quote End --- I have thought of this option before, but I need to confirm that the problem comes from the OS first. The servers are not my personal PCs so reinstalling would be a second choice. Thank you.
