Hi,

I am sending the customer my IP component for integrating into their SOPC but do not know yet how to encrypt it like Altera MegaCore IP. Actually, I just want them to work with my component as a black box.

Does Quartus provide us such tool ?

Could you recommend some other solutions ?

Thanks in advance,

Quan

Hi,

as far as I know there is no tool in Quartus available for encryption. The only way of a kind of encryption is to send your IP as a design partition. When you export a design partition Quartus generates a qxp file. Maybe that is sufficient for you.

Kind regards
