15 years agoWhen you configure a FPGA with a time limited sof file, you'll have an alert box telling you that you are in Opencore evaluation mode. It is very important not to close that window! If you do the CPU will stop working. That's why I suggested to launch the Quartus programmer as a separate application, so that you can use SignalTap even if you have a time limited sof file.
