IP core student version ?

--- Quote Start ---

There are all sorts of IP cores out there at a lots of different prices and versions. What are you looking for?

I can't say exactly which one,

but I need PCI core 32 bits, any suggestions for the lowest cost because it's for researching purpose....not for commercial..

Most of those IPs can be used in evaluation mode. It means that you can't flash it, and you need to keep a USB Blaster connected to the FPGA while you are using it. Except for that it is 100% functional and doesn't cost anything. For research purposes it could be enough.

If you need to flash your design, you could contact the company making the IP and ask them if they have special prices for academics. It differs from one company to the other.

So I can run it on the device if USB blaster is connected ?

but I got this message from Quartus when I compiled it :

warning: megafunction that supports opencore plus feature will stop functioning in 1 hour after device is programmed

Is it still working for 1 hour if I connect USB blaster with it ?

How much is it estimately the cost for Altera Cyclone II?

thanks

Or can I use these ones with Quartus II?

Do you have experience on how to use it with quartus II ? or it's the same way I use PCI compiler ?

thanks

The Opencore evaluation mode stops after 1 hour if the USB cable is unplugged from the FPGA. But if you keep it plugged it will work indefinitely.

As for the prices, you will have to ask the company itself (this core isn't directly sold by Altera).

There should be no problem using it - but if you have any problems you'll probably have to contact the author.

do you know a link for PCI 32 bits 5V PCB pin pad dimension ?

thanks

but if I create without the core, how can I save it into my flash there in the board ?

directly from the programmer in Quartus ? select the chip name only ?

because I can't save on my EP2C8Q208 but I can save on EPCS16...

Thank you...
