Occasional ContributorHi Sstrell and Anand, thanks for your response.
The problem is the following. I founded this startup Cool Optics in 2017, with this idea to reduce energy consumption in the datacenter. See www.cool-optics.nl. I do this on my own, with my own (limited) money, and looking for venture capitalists. I learned you need at least a working prototype to persuade them. So I started programming VHDL in 2018 using ModelSim. As you can maybe see in my "My Intel", I installed in 2018 ModelSim 18.0 and Quartus 18.0 with Cyclone10GX on a machine with 8 GB RAM.. The idea is to develop a working prototype on INTEL's development board with Cyclone10GX . It worked fine. No problem. Free license, thank you very much.. However, as the design grew, this 8GB machine ran more and more into its limits. Last December I bought this bigger machine with 32 GB, and thought to re-install both ModelSim (simulation) and Quartus (Map onto FPGA, place and route) with the Cyclone10GX library. Now i am stuck, i don't have the money to pay for the licenses and feel very frustated. It used to run, why did you change the license policy?
PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND A SOLUTION!
Kind Regards, Pieter van Leeuwen
PS: Sometimes QUARTUS seems to be ModelSim AND Quartus (FPGA map + place and route), and sometimes QUARTUS seem to be ONLY FPGA Map & Place & route. What do you mean with QUARTUS: inclusive or exclusive Modelsim?
