How to generate .sof file for IP evaluation in tethered mode

Hi @HTork​ ,

To enable Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode.

During Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode, the Compiler only generates a time-limited device programming file (<project name> _time_limited.sof) that expires at the time limit.

1. In the Intel Quartus Prime software, click Assignments > Settings > Compilation Process Settings.
2. Click the More Settings button.
3. For Intel® FPGA IP Evaluation Mode , select enable.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Triple speed ethernet is opencore IP.

Note that I'm using Intel Quartus Prime Lite 18.0.0.

Some help would be greatly appreciated:-)

Thanks,

I now see that I get all the warnings that you list:

Warning (12189): Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode (Simulation-Only) feature is turned on for all cores in the design

Warning (12191): Some cores in this design do not support the Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode feature

Warning (12192): "Triple-Speed Ethernet" does not support the Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode feature

Warning (115003): Can't generate programming files for your current project because you do not have a valid license for the following IP core or cores.

I's nor clear to me how I can obtain a license for this IP so I can compile the design and make changes to it.

Could you please explain in some detail how you do that.

Kind regards,

Hans
