CPU License

Hi

Where can i purchase or find license for time limited components of SOPC like its embedded CPU.

Is it necessary for flash programming?

I search for it as long as 1 month, but no body knows.

Regards

    Have you asked your Altera distributor ?

    They are very willing in selling such license :-)

    You can get a minimal Quartus license online, but you proably wont be able to get a Nios license.

    I was not able to program a time-limited hardware into epcs using the GUI (I did not try hard). But is probably possible to flash it using command line tools, the programing script is generated by the Flash programmer from Nios IDE, you will have to modify it to accept the time limited file.

    Please try it and report, I will try and report it myself in a few days.
