13 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi ! I am new at altera FPGA devices.I have a quartus 2 web edition.As I read from altera documents, after relasing the 8.1 version of quartus program,there is no license file for web edition quartus. When I try to compile verilog projects, I always see warning "parallel compilation is not liscensed and has been disabled " even if I try to compile very simple projects. Projects are compiled successfully and they work but I wonder whether it will be problem or not at my future projects. --- Quote End --- Licensed versions of Quartus can use more than 1 CPU core to speed up the compilation (a bit). This is just telling you it's only using one core. --- Quote Start --- And I have Megafunction license and I try to load in Quarstus from tools - license setup but I can't work.Where do I make mistake when loading license file.There will be a problem because of using megafunction on web edition quartus. Do I have to buy other quartus types ? --- Quote End --- No I don't think so, it should work with web versions OK. --- Quote Start --- I try to check whether Qyartus 2 version suitable with PCI_t32 megafunction or not but It doesn't works anymore. If you help me about these problems,I will really appreciate it, Thanks in advance --- Quote End --- Quartus should work with the PCI compiler OK. From what I remember if the license isn't set up correctly it'll produce a version that works as long as the USB blaster is still connected to the board. It should still build (and meet timing ?) OK. I don't think Qsys (the system on a chip tool) is compatible with the PCI compiler though. Nial.
