Does MoreThanIP Core in uClinux1.3 need license?

Hello,

When install the uClinux V1.3, there has MoreThanIP installed. But when I compile the system module, the error appears in the console.

It says mtip_avalon_10_100_mac.edf need license file.

    Hello,

    Yes, the MTIP does require a license if you plan to do more than use the core that ships with the kit. An evaluation version ships with our uKit and Altera's Nios II Evaluation Kit.

    There are two options for 10/100 Ethernet - license the MTIP core (www.morethanip.com for more info) or you can also look at our OpenCores.org EMAC kit. more information is available here. (http://www.microtronix.com/product_ocmac.htm)

    Regards,

    Robert

    Yes, I know the 10/100M igor MAC.

    I use your Microtronix Cyclone Board, it ships with the igor MAC. But it is your earliest version of the MAC (uClinx1.0 just for Nios I with Linux 2.4.17). Now I use Nios II 1.1 and uClinux V1.3, when I build the kernel and filesystem, the uCLinux can not run in the board(Nios II system include your early version of igor_mac). But when I delete the igor_mac from Nios II system, uClinux can run properly. Why?

    My igor_mac version is 2.0. If it is an old version and can not run under uClinux V1.3 directly.

    Thank you.
