Look I need to know something very basic. I have to use Xilinx Vivado on my work. Vivado provide AMBA AXI4 BFM but it can only be used from within SystemVerilog testbench. I only use VHDL. WIth Intel Quartus, there are the Mentor Graphics AXI4 VHDL BFMs. I want to use these but I do not have Intel Quartus on my work laptop and cannot get paid license for it. Now, I want to know if there is a way to legally use the Mentor Graphics BFMs for AMBA AXI4 on my work laptop without having license for Intel Quartus, by just copying across the files related to the BFMs from another machine that has Intel Quartus installed? I want to know if this is legal and possible.
If only Mentor Graphics can answer this question then let me know as well. I want to know if I can use this BFM at work or not, where I do not have Intel Quartus unlike my previous job where I did have it.
