7 years ago --- Quote Start --- The EDA tool is only useful if you need to export the netlist to another tool. To configure the FPGA you just need a sof file, generated by the assembler. You can configure the FPGA with your sof file without license but it will run in Opencore evaluation mode and you need to keep the USB connection with the programmer the whole time. Alternatively you can switch to a Nios II/e core that doesn't require a license. --- Quote End --- thank you sir....
