Quartus II: 2010.12 (support latest and before) megacore: 2009.12 (support 9.1 and before) Can he generate sof file in the following case? (1) Creating a megacore with 9.1 and compile the design with 9.1sp1 (2) Creating a megacore with 9.1sp1 and compile the design with 9.1sp1 Thanks,2 Replies
Altera_ForumHi MShmitt,
Thank you for your answer.- Altera_Forum
good question.
i had a similar problem and the first thing what my FAE did was to equalize them with the next renewal .... --- Quote Start --- (1) Creating a megacore with 9.1 and compile the design with 9.1sp1 --- Quote End --- Yes this should work some megacores like FIR copy the required files and add the relatives paths to the QIP file, so i have some FIRs for example that are updated last time with 9.0 and still compile with 9.1SP1 without a 9.0 installation. --- Quote Start --- (2) Creating a megacore with 9.1sp1 and compile the design with 9.1sp1 --- Quote End --- i think SP1 is a service pack (bug fixes) of an existing funktional version 9.1 so it should be part of the licence as 9.1 was released before 2009-12. but that is my opinion and experience with different software, a service pack is not a new release
