Problem with IP core Plus

I do have a design that works fine with Intel Open Core Plus and time-limited .sof files.

Now I generated a new revision and changed the device to a device that fits my demo board from10CX150YF672E5G to 10CX220YF780E5G.

Now no .sof file is generated any more and I see this warning:

Warning(18390): Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode (Simulation-Only) feature is turned on for all cores in the design.

How can I get a time-limited .sof file again? I found no setting for 'Simulation-Only'.

regards

Mike

    Hi Sir

    Hello

    Welcome to INTEL forum. Apologize for the inconvenience. A possible reason for this occurrence is that you do not have a license for these cores. Additionally, the Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode feature has been disabled for this design.

    Alternatively, you could also request a temporary 60-days evaluation license. Kindly contact your local sales representative or distributor.

    Thank you,

    of course I have no license for the core. The distributor tells me that there is no 60 days evaluation license available for these cores.

    So we are back to the question why the open core works fine (see attachment)

    and when I change the device it is no longer working, although it is enabled and I get this warning

    Warning(18390): Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode (Simulation-Only) feature is turned on for all cores in the design.

    Thanks for your help.

    With your answer we finally got a 60 days license.
